hi
i had to jumper my IBM IC35L040AVVN07-0 to 32 GB cause my motherboard (Lucky Star 6VABX2) is too old. i tried to update my bios, but the lastest bios is from 1999! i heard about this "bug" in some bioses and i know that some people can fix this problem by editing the bios (Jan Hill told me). So can anyone help me?
Thanks

Certainly. Can you tell me what the BIOS message at the top left of the screen is, along the lines of "#LGA3-03". If this is the one I have already patched it.

hi NickS
at the top left-hand corner only "#LGA3-03" is shown.

OK, send me an email and I'll reply with the patched BIOS file.
