[wellylug] AMD Processor model unknown

[E Chalaron]

Hi Daniel

180 fps ?????? WOW !!!!! not even close to that ...
In fact after RTFM the BIOS does show processor unknown, Linux is just
replacating the message.
So not a Suse problem or whatsoever .. a BIOS issue clearly.

fortunately I found that :
http://www.linuxinsight.com/how-to-flash-motherboard-bios-from-linux-no-dos-windows-no-floppy-drive.html
which says ....

"Gigabyte owners check owners manual. They have ezflash facility.
Download BIOS update files, write them to the vfat formatted flash disk
and shutdown. Select at the beginning to enter ezflash. Point flash and
you're good to go."

Now time for plug and pray :-\
Cheers
E
