Pentium III Celeron 600 recognized as 540 after flashing Bio

[grandmougin]

Hello,

I decided , 2 weeks ago, to upgrade my PC with Bios provided by eSupport to have bigger disks recognized and to install XP very soon.
All was OK after flashing, my disk (40Gb) is now recognized without EZ-BIOS.
My motherboard is Abit LX6 + Abit Slotket III and processor is Pentium III Celeron 600Mhz.
After flashing Bios and reboot, Cpu model was OK (Bios display was 612 (68x9).

But since following day of flashing, at each boot, I have the following problem :
- 1) My processor is now recognized with the message "Celeron 540 (60x 9)"- 2) Impossible to change CPU model in the Bios because the first item "!! CPU SOFT MENU!!" is no more present in BIOS menu. It was present before with last version of Bios from Abit.

ESupport Bios reference is : 2A69JA1A.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you use the latest BETA BIOS? A patched version of this one (supports HDDs up to 128GB) is at http://wims.rainbow-software.org]

Contact Esupport and claim your Bios is not working in the right way - maybe they sent you the wron one for a Board using jumpers/Dips to select FSB

There's a better and less expensive way to get your HDD and CPU working

Oh, I missed that the BIOS was provided by eSupport I never read longer posts thoroughly...

Thanks to Rainbow for his information.
I flashed my Bios with Rainbow patched version on Wimsbios site and now all is OK.
My disks and CPU are well recognized.
