Is it normal that the BIOS has not neede to be updated since 2006 ?
It is normal that manufacturers do not provide updates very long due to economical reasons and because they simply don't care... (that's one the big advantages of coreboot ;)
You mean I could replace by present BIOS with coreboot ? Would that provide me with a better (more functional) BIOS (firmware) ? I.e. would it then be able to boot from USB ?
However I've checked the suported boards but I think mine is not there.
Hi,
sorry for stirring any hopes but I meant that in a more general sense. In general coreboot (together with seabios) would allow any computer (with a support USB controller) to boot from USB. The hard part is to get coreboot on to a board first ;) That all won't help you, but I wanted to make clear that the firmware vendor is to blame and not the hardware.
