It is strongly recommended that as part of the installation procedure, you
|
|
upgrade your system's BIOS to the latest version available from your system
|
|
vendor.
|
|
Later BIOSes often contain workarounds for CPU and chipset bugs,
|
|
workarounds that cannot be provided by the operating system.

In the past, bugs fixed this way have been known to cause unpredictable
|
|
behaviour and frequent system crashes with

and other

operating systems on x86 hardware.
