thank you for your message. The version you used is pretty old. 0.9.3 is the current release [1]. You could even build the current version from Subversion [2].
Since you did not write anything in addition in your message, I do not know if you need any help upgrading your BIOS or if you just send us the information to support the project.
Thanks,
Paul
