BIOS update for SC430

[Marios Pittas]

Hi there

We have a couple SC430 that I am trying to update
the bios of (to A04 from A02). For other PE's, I
would use the bootable CD's, hassle free even for
Linux newbies such as me. However, for the SC430
Dell is providing the binary at:

http://support.us.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R136714&formatcnt=3&libid=0&fileid=182469

Have attempted to follow the clear instructions
that were provided in the page: download, switch
to init 1, change the file permissions to user
and executable and execute it. However, I get the
following error, when executing:

tail: cannot open '+78' for reading: No such file
or directory.

gzip: stin: not in gzip format

-------------- eo error message

The machines are using A02 Bios, software raid
(for both swap -- 1.5GB and ext3 -- 74GB), 1GB
RAM, 2x80GB Core 2 Duo, CentOS 5.1. Any pointers
:)

Many thanks

-- Marios
