Are you sure with KN as bios revision ?
I can't see this number on the downloadpage :
http://fae.abit.com.tw/eng/download/bios/lx6.htm
But I found a BETA-Bios dated 12/99 on Abit mirror site :
ftp://ftp.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/pub ... ndex-e.htm
12/21/1999-i440LX-W977TF-2A69JA1AC-00
What was the problem upgrading to LY ?

Yes, I'm sure of KN-version. At the Abit site, I could not find anything else than LY-version. Not even a history of versions. It surprised me too.
At first, the new version got jammed at startup, later on with some eprom-notification (?). A friend helped me out, so it works again, but not with the new HD.

One to bookmark, thanks Dennis. Also the marburg mirror. I've patched the LY version if anyone wants it, as it doesn't support disks over 32 Gb.Denniss wrote: downloadpage :

There is no support in the beta BIOS PZ, so that's now patched as well...

I see Rainbow already did the LY revision (see here).
