Hi,

I tried installing BIOS 1.22, but when I select "Update system
program", the updater freezes and I have to reboot my system. I also
tried this with BIOS 1.21, same problem. Currently I'm running 1.20
(UEFI BIOS Version: 1.20, Embedded Controller Version: 1.09).

I used syslinux on an USB stick for this, with the "memdisk" kernel.
Here's my syslinux.conf:

default memdisk
append iso initrd=8duj11uc.iso

Any idea why this doesn't work?

Bye, Johannes
