I found in the linux kernel mailing list a thread which almost exactly
describes my same problem. The person reporting it solved it by a BIOS
upgrade, which is going to be my next try. Of course, while I immediately
found a BIOS image, this is not even a bootable disk image, it is supposed
to be installed using a dedicated Winzozz utility. This is crazy. Can
anybody help me upgrading the BIOS on my linux-only Asus A6K without having
to install some sort of win XP on it???
