Successfully done. :-) Closing ...
Nicely done! To recap: your system is legacy BIOS, the vendor offers BIOS updates only via UEFI capsules and their only documented update method is with the Linux tool fwupdate(1). fwupdate doesn't work if the system uses legacy mode. So what you did is use a (uefi) live image from a USB disk with fwupdate, run the update, and then continue use legacy mode on an update firmware. Am I getting this right? This kind of shows that there is only one firmware; I somehow always assumed there are two, one legacy and one uefi. But apparently you're always running the uefi BIOS, only it has a thin compatibility layer on top so you can keep using the old interface. Does that make sense? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
