there are apps specifically for updating a machine bios on linux using a windoz exe, one explanation: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Flashing_BIOS_from_Linux
As this laptop is double boot with Windows 10, I will try that route first. But thanks for the link, I'll have a look.
Now I'm preparing to reboot to W10 without network, and try the firwmare update.
Wish me luck ;-)
Done! Well, it still takes long before grub appears, but so far no error message. Of course it is too soon, will have to try longer. I did it from W10, but the above link has another link for HP computers using Linux. <https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebooks-Archive-Read-Only/How-to-update-BIOS-on-Linux/td-p/4869835> Ah, only some laptops are supported this way. It is a complicated procedure! -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
