Hi,

I have a Dell D600 laptop with BIOS version A05. I have just downloaded
the A09 and wonder whether or not I should do the upgrade.

I have never upgraded a BIOS before. May I screw something up?

My ultimate goal is to get rid of the kernel message

"Dell Latitude with broken BIOS detected. Refusing to enable 
the local APIC"

Cheers,
Paal
