Tecra S2: Problems with Linux Live CDs after BIOS upgrade

Hi all,
a short while ago I flashed the BIOS of my Tecra S2. My current BIOS version now is 2.80. Unfortunately no I have got problems with booting Linux Live CDs like Knoppix or Kanotix. The boot process freezes, when the PCMCIA module is tried bo be started.
What i want to do now is to downgrade my BIOS version. Does anyone know how that stuff works and does anyone have an old BIOS version from 2005? I couldn`t found older versions on the Toshiba support sites.
Thanks for all answers!
biberkopf

Youre right. On the Toshiba page you will find only the newest version of the BIOS and the older versions are not available on the page.
In my opinion if you want to downgrade the BIOS you have to ask the authorized service provider in your country for the help.
But did you check this useful site:

There you can check the area machine installation help
It provides some useful tips with the device configuration

K8t Neo2 problem with resume from standby after BIOS flash

Previously while using the 3.2 BIOS and a Winchester 3200+, Both Standby and hibernation worked perfectly almost without fail. Since I flashed the BIOS to 9.3 and installed an X2 4200+ I have had a problem with resume from standby. The machine starts up OK but the 2nd processor core (cpu1) is almost maxed out and stays that way. Task manager shows total cpu load as about 45-50% (all on cpu1) but shows no running process using any cpu load, just the usual System Idle process at about 99%. The only way to get it back down to normal again seems to be to reboot. By Contrast Hibernation works fine, with no increase in cpu load after resume. I have all the latest MS patch's installed (I think!) the AMD dual core driver and the MS and AMD dual core optimizers. Any ideas what is going on?

Noticed last night that S! standby seems to work OK. Also was experimenting with a fresh windows install on a spare hard drive (checking on another problem). The fresh windows install appeared to work with S4 hibernation, so it looks like that is the answer to that problem. However the problem with high cpu load on the second core after resume from S3 suspend to RAM standby was still present. This problem is so specific and so repeatable (it does it every time without fail), that I feel there must be some very well defined reason for it. Unfortunately I have no ideas what could be wrong. Have now tried Windows re-install, latest cpu drivers, AMD dual core optimizer, MS dual core optimizer, Cool'n'quite disabled/enabled, and various others and suspend to RAM still gives the same behaviour

Problems with contacts getting deleted after software upgrade!

Somehow, my IPhone 4s had a software upgrade, and it DELETED contacts. Anyone else have a problem with this???? UGH!
I had a thunderbolt before my IPhone, and my contacts were saved to the verizon back up assistant. They are now nowhere to be found!

If you were already using iOS 5 where you using the iCloud feature to back up your device? If so, you should be able to retrieve your contacts. If you just upgraded to iOS 5 where you backing up your device on your computer via iTunes? You were advised to complete a backup prior to proceeding with the software update...if you did so then a copy of your back up should be available in iTunes. Try looking at the following link to see if it helps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If you did not do a backup and you were not using iCloud to do backups then you would need re-sync your contacts from another source...did you use a contact manager on your computer (such as Outlook)? If you did then you can retrieve your contacts from there. Try looking at this link to see if it helps. If it is not the correct one you can do a search on that site to find the article that better fits your needs.

Problems with Broadcom wireless card after Kernel Upgrade

After upgrading to version 2.6.39 of the linux kernel, I am having trouble with my Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card. The broadcom-wl driver no longer seems to work, even after reinstalling it from the AUR. The b43 driver seems to be able to connect to unencrypted networks, but can no longer connect to my family's WPA Personal encrypted router. Is anybody else having a similar problem?

As I understand it my laptop has been fine and it uses broadcom-wl, and I just re-yaourt it each time my kernel version changes using a cable in my router. But I believe there is something called dkms and a version of the driver for it, which (I haven't read fully into it) is something like a separate tree, which can (from what little I've read) eliminate this need to recompile every time, however I literally read this 5 minutes ago, from the AUR page for broadcom-wl and a quick google so I wouldn't be surprised if there is more to it than that.

Problems with folders and applications after SL upgrade

I purchased Snow Leopard and installed on my Macbook Pro everything ran smoothly and very impressed with the changes and extra storage on hard drive I checked thoroughly to make sure all was working and could not find a single problem I have Final Cut Studio 3, Photoshop CS3, Aperture, Iwork 09 and more and have had no problems at all using them. So....
Then feeling secure with Snow Leopard I installed on my MacPro (in exactly the same way which I had previously done on by Macbook Pro!) which I use for my work which has all of the above applications and all of my important documents, pictures, movies, music etc.
I have 4TB of hard drive split on a RAID set up 1 half is for storage of my footage and editing the 2nd half is everything else including applications.
Once the installation was complete and I started to hear the music and video for OSX it then started to go through to open up a new account as if I had just purchased a new computer and was setting it up for the first time or when you erase and install (my worst fear!)
I then in a panic searched for all of my valuable files or applications which I could not seem to find in any of the usual places where they should have been. Then through spotlight managed to find a file I recognised, here is what I have found and I will try to explain.
What used to be the 1st half of the RAID set up which contained all of the system settings, Library, Music and Applications and for general running the system appears to think this is now not used as the main hard drive but it appears to have all of my applications but I am unable to open any of them as if they are not even there.
The 2nd half which was used only for media storage and editing now has all of its existing files plus a system folder and a whole new user file with an application folder, document, system setting etc.
I have tried to just copy across all of the applications to the new working applications folder but they still don't open
I don't know how to resolve this problem and this is what I need an answer to:
Is there anyway to save these applications by dragging some kind of system preference or Library setting across to the NEW main Hard drive?
Do I need to delete all of the applications and reload them all? - VERY TIME CONSUMING!
Being Mac is there anything easy that would reverse whats happened.
Any help/ advise greatly appreciated. Still in a panic so if I don't make sense please ask me to clarify.

However, software updates and the addition of Norton 360 earlier this year ground it to a halt, so I decided to upgrade to 2GB of RAM (and blow out all of the dust that had accumulated inside the tower) last night. The RAM registered without a problem and the computer was much more responsive; except for getting the beloved 'blue screen of death' within ten minutes of reboot (IRQ_LESS_THAN_NULL problem).
After two hours of these lockups and limited troubleshooting, I decided the software stability warranted using the HP software recovery program, so after using the 'normal' (not destructive) recovery program, I'm now getting the "NTLDR is compressed problem; press CTRL+ALT+DEL to REBOOT" -AND- I don't have an external recovery disk that gets me to an to get MSDOS prompt to try to decompress NTLDR.
Given the system's age, I cannot imagine that I'm the first person to encounter this problem. Any assistance that can be provide is greatly appreciated.
Your hard disk might have gone south (become nonfunctional). Is there a hard disk option in your BIOS?

OSX 10.9.2, I have a problem with the standard menu after last upgrade

After updating the day before I got the following bug: part of the standard menu (right click mouse) disappeared.
Screenshots:

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am still having problems with wi fi connectivity after I upgraded my computer to os x 10.9.4.

I updated my laptop to 10.9.4, and now my laptop won't continually stay connected to the internet. I will get it to open a page initially, then when I try another page, the browser acts like it's going to load a page, but then just hangs there. When it does connect, it is fast, but more often then not as I'm trying to connect to different websites the page doesn't load at all. I've restarted the router, I've restarted the modem, I've deleted and re-added my network, I've restarted my computer, and I tried to restart in 'safe-mode'.
I had the same problem after the last update, but figured it was the same issue everyone else was having of the computer not reconnecting after sleep. I found a fix, and it seemed to help (although the problem never completely went away), but I can no longer find that solution.
My internet provider stated that all was good on their end, and indeed, I have no problems using wi-fi on my iphone. But, my computer just doesn't want to stay connected enough to surf various sites on the internet.
HELP!!

Problems with KT3V(MS-6712) after BIOS flashing

I bought KT3V(MS-6712) board with AMD AthlonXP 2000+ CPU. After starting PC for the first time, I found out that the system was not able to detect the CPU. I replaced Athlon 2000+ with old Duron and everything was OK. I went to the store where I bought new Athlon, they tried it and it worked perfectly with two various boards!! They recommended me to flash a newest BIOS. I did it, but the result is a black screen and three repeating beeps. What´s wrong? Any idea? Is my board damaged? Thanx, Endy

really no idea ?

HEAVY Problems with Linux x86_64 on K8T Neo

Hello, Community!
I experience *HEAVY* Problems with Linux on my MSI K8T Neo (FSR). Since the customer support of the german dependancy seems to ignore my call for help I'm in good hope that maybe you can help me out or give me some useful advise.
First some Hardware Specs of my system:
MSI K8T Neo FSR, Rev 1.1, BIOS 1.5
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
3x 512MB Kingston DDR400
Enermax EG365P-VE (350W) PSU (3.3V/5V 185W Combinded)
MSI GeForce FX5200 TDR 128
Adaptec ATA RAID AAR1200A (HPT370A) in PCI Slot 3
Hauppauge WinTV PCI in PCI Slot 5
Maxtor 4K040H2 (40GB) as Primary Master
JLMS XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM as Primary Slave
LiteOn LDW-411S DVD+/-RW as Secondary Master
LiteOn LTR-52327S CD-RW as Secondary Slave
2x Maxtor 6Y060L0 (60GB) on HPT370A as Primary Master/Slave
Seagate ST380020A (80GB) on HPT370A as Secondary Master
Maxtor 32049U3 on HPT370A as Secondary Slave
KeyTronic KT2001 USB Keyboard
Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse Blue USB
I've downloaded Fedora Core 1 x86_64 as well as the lately released Fedora Core 2 test 3 x86_64 distribution. Both CD sets have been burnt ok.
If I try to install Core 1 x86_64 (Kernel 2.4.22-1.2179) the kernel crashes with a "attempted to kill idle task" panic. As far as I've learned the workaround is to give idle=poll as kernel parameter. This resolves the kernel panic, but the installer randomly crashes with segfaults at a random stage; sometimes while loading anaconda, sometimes during package install.
If I try to install Core2 test 3 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.5) I get a, completely new, error message while the kernel does the PCI Scan:
******* Your BIOS seems to not contain a fix for K8 errata #93
******* Working around it, but it may cause SEGVs or burn power
******* Please consider a BIOS update
******* Disabling USB legacy in the BIOS may also help
I removed my USB keyboard, connected a PS/2 keyboard, disabled to USB Legacy option (I need it enabled in order to use Ghost) in the BIOS and booted again.
The error message is gone now, but as in Core 1 the installer still crashes randomly with segfaults. I'm still unable to go all the way through the installation routine.
I even tried to install Fedora Core 1 "i386": again there are segfaults during install.
Contrary to the problems I experience while trying to install Linux my Windows XP (32-Bit), as well as a test installation of Windows XP 64-Bit, run like a charm without any problems. Strange but true.
Since I already read trough several posts in this forum I already tried running my system with memory sticks from another manufacturers as well as with a more powerful PSU. I even removed my tv-card and raid-controller.
Nogo - Linux still crashes randomly and Windows still works without any flaws.
Has anyone a clue what I can/must do to successfully install Linux?
Might it be that the BIOS has some flaws that might cause the problems?
Has anyone managed to install Linux (what distribution) on this Mainboard?
I would greatly appreciate any help. If you need to know something I haven't provided here please feel free to ask. I'll answer ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: The system is *NOT* overclocked in any way.

And now even the last problem is solved ...
Since I was successful in installing a basic Gentoo system but still failed to install Fedora I reflashed BIOS 1.5. This time I cleared the CMOS by unplugging the PSU, setting the jumper and removing the backup battery.
Yesterday I only flashed it with the /a switch, which should have cleared the CMOS as well - so far for the theory. However, it once went fine as I upgraded from BIOS 1.1 to 1.4.
After setting up the BIOS options again I gave it another try and booted from Fedora (Core 2 test 3) install CD: No more complains about the CPU errata, although USB legacy is enabled, and I even went through the installation without any problems.
It seems as I will stick with Gentoo as my primary distribution since the kernel makes a more "mature" impression than the one from Fedora (i.e. the K8 PowerNOW! Driver seems to be missing in Fedora's Kernel 2.6.5).
By using an spare Athlon XP Mainboard I worked out that only one of my three Kingston memory sticks had errors - I'm going to replace the faulty stick tomorrow.
Now for the conclusio:
Thanks, especially you JLP, for helping me with my issue. Without the advise to use Gentoo, and the included MemTest86, I wouldn't have been able to track down the error to a faulty memory stick that fast since Windows always ran fine.

Having problems with Bridge shutting down after saving photo in PS Cs5,,,,,,,,, Also when i attempt to update either PS or bridge get an error message in Adobe application manger "Error loading updater workflow"

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010

Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks

Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.
Cheers
