Salut,

Envoies-moi plutôt le retour de console de "lshw -sanitize", en root. J'ai besoin de connaître la marque et le modèle précis de machine pour aller voir ça sur le site du constructeur le tout associté à des données -- succintes -- relatives au bios. Et tout ceci sera dans le "lshw".

Salut,

Ton affaire ça craint. C'est peu commun, on peut quasi dire "sans marque" (Taiwan)
Voici ce que j'ai trouvé:

http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/ECSSearch.aspx?menuid=0&lanid=9&keyword=K7S5A

Par exemple, le lien de la ligne 20 mène ici:
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/Downloads_Driver_Detail.aspx?MenuID=61&LanID=9&detailid=74#Download-2

Ton lshw indique:

          description: BIOS
          vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
          physical id: 0
          version: 07.00T (04/02/01)

Il te faudra regarder sur la Carte mère, près du bios, ce qui peut être indiqué : le numéro de révision (Rev -un numéro)

Notes : il y a d'autres versions de bios portant un nom identique après la ligne 20 du premier lien, mais je n'ai aucune certitude quand à quel bios est ok pour ta carte mère. Je pense que ceux jusqu'aux versions de la ligne 20 doivent être ok...
Donc, prudence... et renseignes-toi bien.

Bien entendu, si PCLinuxOS fonctionne bien dessus sans flasher le BIOS, pourquoi prendre des risques ?

Moi j'avais ça / http://www.ami.com/support/bios.cfm
mais je suis franchement pas assez calé pour tenter quoique ce soit donc je m'en tiendrai là... ;
en tous cas : un grand MERCI.

[joelh]

et puis il y a ça : Please read the notes carefully before updating BIOS.
1.    Do not update the BIOS if the system is running fine. Unsuccessful BIOS flash may cause the system fails to boot up. The manufacturer is not responsible for any BIOS flash failure.

Tout à fait !
Bonne vie et longue vie à ta machine !
