R51: BIOS and ECP update problem ..

[DerDalen]

Hello from Europe!

I have the following problem:

On my R51, I want to update BIOS als well as the ECP.

But the newest BIOS needs a higher version of the ECP than the one on my system.

On the other hand, the newest ECP needs a higher version of BIOS than I have installed.

IBM sais (I have ECP version 1.02):

- This BIOS version will only work with Embedded Controller Program Version 1.03 (or higher). Obtain the additional package, Embedded Controller Program Version 1.03 (or higher), and update the Embedded Controller Program in the system with it.

- If you need to update Embedded Controller Program as well as the BIOS, update the BIOS first."

So should I simply update the Bios and then the ECP?

I'm a bit worried of installing a BIOS that "will not work" with my current ECP ...

Thanks!
Dalen

Update the ECP first, then the BIOS.
