I checked Dell's web site, the "fixes" on the A13 BIOS for the D630 were: Fixes/Enhancements ------------------ 1. Improved support for 4GB memory. 2. Improved PXE support. Obviously it was this change to 4Gb memory support, whatever it was, that is the root of the issue here. I tried the latest (12/11/08) A14 BIOS, it does not resolve this issue. I also went through the entire history of the BIOS for the D830, hoping to find the corresponding fix, but in fact, the fix was in at the same BIOS level: A14 Fixes/Enhancements 1. Improved support for discharged Media Bay Battery. 2. Implemented new option to disable Wi-Fi when LAN IP is available. 3. Improved support for TPM. 4. Fixed an OS hang issue caused by XD Disable. 5.

A01 Initial Release Perhaps someone could get further clarification on what they mean by "Improved support for 4GB memory.", maybe there is something you guys could be taking advantage of on this platform... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
