ひさびさのSC430

最近Express5800/110GdばかりでSC430かまってあげてないなぁと思い
そういえばbiosアップデートとか出てないんかなぁと見てみたら
2年前にA04のbiosアップデートが出てた．．．2年前って
ごめんね放置してて．．．．

CentOS5上からアップデート

#wget ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/SC430A04.BIN
#init 1
#chmod u+x SC430A04.BIN
#./SC430A04.BIN
　tail: cannot open '+78' for reading: No such file or directory
　gzip: stdin: not in gzip format

は？(´゜Д゜`)
どうも同じような人がいっぱいいるようで
UbuntuとかLiveCDで実行したという人が多い

負けるもんかヽ( `д´;)ノ (ただめんどくさいだけだが)

～3分後～

KnoppixのブートCDどこにあったかなぁ（；´д｀）
いちよ見つかりDVDドライブをオープン
　「ガガガガガガガっ」
ひさしぶりにオープンしたせいかご機嫌斜めの模様
大丈夫かなこのドライブ．．．

なんとか起動
再度wgetして ./SC430A04.BIN
アップデートできました( ´-ω-`)
CentOSの何が悪いっていうのさ
