    Hi All

    I have an SUN X4600M2 which has an award bios embedded in a larger ILOM file. I was wondering if anyone has tried to mod the bios embedded in firmware like this to support processors such as the opteron 8379 (don't think this is supported how would I tell?) or 8400 series processors. Any thoughts about how this could be done?
    An example ILOM can be found copper.checksum.net.au/ILOM-3_0_3_31_a-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima

    Cheers
