PE 6450 - Firmware update issue

[Harald_Jensas at Dell.com]

Hi,

You have a quite old FW on this system, my guess would be that it can
not be updated from Linux.
Try updating it using a the the floppy version instead.

Search for - BR126654.exe - on http://support.dell.com

(You need a Windows system to create an update floppy.)
