[OpenBIOS] devbios on linux ln lx440gx+

[Ralph Stickley]

Here's a shot in the dark...
Check the BIOS to make sure the BIOS shadowing is not enabled....
Boot to a DOS floppy and see if you can program it from there, at least
that will verify your hardware jumper settings and (maybe) your BIOS setups.
Good luck
Ralph
