Comment 37 for bug 148466

I'm not running Broadcom, this beast for some odd reason has the Intel one.
Anyway, I went to Dell website and it looks like I have to do an entire
firmware update and BIOS update on the machine for it to accept any of the
Linux shell. It was updated previously, but it was only one BIOS update and
the previous owner was updating it with Windows Server 2003 firmware. I had
to make about 12 disks and floppys, but I think I got this licked now. I'm
doing firmware update for RedHat now, so I'll keep you guys posted.

@Manty01Actual, this has nothing to do with your SCSI. This is just a
bug in the Broadcom PATA chipset driver.
