Ron,
As I have been reading the documentation on my chipset there is mention of disabling certain features when the BIOS is to perform different functions.
As I was and checking out the BIOS update for my board (an ABIT BM6) and was reading through the instructions and they mention disabling the following:
1. CPU Internal Cache 2. CPU External Cache 3. Video BIOS Cacheable 4. Video BIOS Shadow
prior to running the Award flash program.
So you might want to have a check in your documentation for issues relating to these features and the update of your BIOS.
If I come across the documentation comments again (they didn't seem relevant when I read them the first time :-) ) I will pass them along.
