I made this mistake once before.... You may have seen it where I provided
details on a fix for "Karen" for his rev 1 8KNXP which turned out not to be
not to be a rev 2 or an 8KNXP....

I suggest Karen be left to his imagination and not assume that there is any
new bios coming, but wait or prod GB for a new one.

Richard,

"Karen" as he is calling himself these days does not own an 8KNXP rev 1
or
rev 2. He (it is actually a he) claims to have had GB update a bios for
8INXP (if I recall correctly) to include the ITE update. He (his real
name
is Roger) seems to think that the bios for these boards is completely
interchangeable and that by asking for 1 bios to be corrected that he is
the
New Saviour and authoritative champion!

So, in short Roger (alias Woger, Woger MKII and about 200 others) is
flame
bait.

So how wrong you are, I have the Same MoBo as a GA-8KNXP 2.0, but with
out
the extra power module.

Yes I do have a New Bios from GigaByte, F11a..



LOL....if you have that mobo then you would KNOW that F11 referes to
revision 1.0 of the GA-8KNXP.

FH, FI, FJ referes to the 2.0 and 2.1 revisions of the board.

F off Tim you do not know F thing, I do know what MoBo I have, seems
that
you just don't have a clue


Have a look at a GA-8KNXP Manual, you will se that is has a GA-8I875 Ultra
Listed, this mobo can out much later, as it came out as a Rev 2.0 Board
and
sound option, plus it has Rev 2.0 stamped on the board.

So now your credibility here is now a FAT ZERO..

Plus I do have this New Bios, lets me boot from any 4 Hard Drives that are
connected to the ITE Controller.

Never mind Tim you might grow up one day, but from your stupid comments
here
its going to take for ever.


OK...so you got a beta BIOS that works for you, GREAT!
Now tell when Gigabyte are gonna update the BIOS once again for the
GA-8KNXP revision 2.1?????

Not with a GA-8KNXP - just reflash from the backup BIOS. :-)

John.


True, but once you have flashed and the BIOS are stable you should flash
both the main and backup BIOS to the same version.

In the above scenario, wrong BIOS flash, you would boot from the backup
BIOS
and then flash the main BIOS to the same version as your backup.





NOT NEEDED..


Sorry? Please feel free to expand further... :-)



Like how would you recover from a failed BIOS flash without using the
incredibly useful Gigabyte backup BIOS?



Incidentally we do know how to flash a BIOS (after all we have read and
carried out your reccommendation), but just occasionally it fails - e.g.
because the mains electricity turns off or glitches - so your recommendation
repeated several times about how to do a BIOS flash still is of no help.



John.

F8 from the bios screen. It allows you to boot from the backup bios and copy the backup bios to the man bios if you want to.
