    That's surprising because the only module moved was the epa logo. But there is another way to do this which is to move acpi table up. Were you able to reflash the original BIOS to get it working again? If you want to try the other method let me know.

    Yeah, boards working again.

    Zort,
    Yeah, the boards working again (whew). I'll try anything, is it especially risky?

    There's always some risk but it's not particularly dangerous. The first way (putting the oem module where the epa logo is and readding the logo at the bottom) is what I'd expect to be the safest way which is why I tried it first, but since that didn't work the other way is worth a try. I can add the oem module at the end of the bios and leave the epa logo where it is. The compressed system bios will need to be reduced approx. 20 bytes by spacing some text, and the xgroup and acpi table moved up the same number. I will try to do it tomorrow night. I'm glad you're working in the meantime.

    Code:
     No. Item-Name         Original-Size   Compressed-Size Original-File-Name
