Hi,

I've never done a BIOS flash on a RaQ before, but I'd imagine the same
theory applies to flashing a standard PC.

A successful reboot doesn't nessecarily mean the BIOS flash was successful;
its not completely being tested.  In fact, when you flash most PC bios'es,
the flash application will usually demand that the machine is powered down
and *NOT* rebooted.

Sounds like the upgrade wasn't successful :-(
