John,

Yes, build 60 is very old and had some problems. Build 70 is the newest BIOS recommended for A2 processors.

Subject: [Linux-ia64] what BIOS for big sur MPs?

We have A2 stepping Big Sur MP systems for linux development. I loaded BIOS 60, which seems to be somewhat flaky as I'm getting occasional random hangs either of the entire system or the console keyboard (in the latter case, I can log in remotely).

This is with test10 turbolinux kernels, or test12 kernels built with the latest patches referenced here.

If you've got A2 stepping CPUs, what BIOS do you use?
