So I attempted the same procedure of going to older BIOS version on my D830. I
was only able to go back to the A09 version and it didn't work. So to sum up
my experience.
D630 BIOS vA12 sees card properly
D630 BIOS vA13 doesn't
D830 BIOS vA09,A13,A14 doesn't
All systems work fine under SLES 10 sp2
I will atache the acpidumps from the working and non working systems.
Thomas I understand that this is a low priority for you. The problem for me
has been Dell will not provide any help to me directly since they where
purchased with Windows not Linux. I have two Dell laptops and two dell laptops
only provided to me. I don't have a Lenovo or HP that I can replace these
with. Both work sufficiently well under SLES10sp2 but when SLED11 or openSUSE
11.1 become GM I would like to be able to install them without loosing
functinality.
At one time someone got a dell person to provide some test BIOS versions. Is
it possible to provide them with this new information (not sure how to do this
myself).
I will provide the requested acpidumps. Is their any other info that would be
helpful?
