I have a new S4600LH with an old BIOS that doesn't recognize my E5-4627 V2 CPU's. I am running Centos 6.5. with the latest updates as of today.
I downloaded the flashupdt utility and installed the RPM, but when I run it the system immediately locks up and requires the reset button -- the watchdog process reboots it after a short while.
I tried with both the -i and -u options and it locked up the same way. The -h option works at least. Here is where the lock up happens:
# /usr/bin/flashupdt/flashupdt -i
One Boot Flash Update Utility Version 11.0 Build 15

(zzzzzzz, system is frozen at this point)
What do I have to do to make flashupdt work? I'll try the UEFI process just for fun, but the Linux utility is the most important one to get working. Don't you have a way for the BIOS to read the updates from a CDROM (or USB-copied CDROM image)? That would be much more compatible and easy to use than any of these other methods.
Thanks,
Mark
