Obviously one could try updating anyway (I'm sure a simple hack in version/SN checking routine would do). It may be risky. You should, in theory, contact the OEM partner, not the manufacturer. Could be hard. OTOH I think the update fixes unrelated problem (a drives failing to start), that would need checking. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
