If this is the Award BIOS, what version? Pester Award US for a new one.
(Even if it's the latest, still pester them, they deserve it.)


If it's a Promise 2300 bug, there were many revisions to that cards BIOS
IIRC, something like 50-150 posts about it some months back. It might be
worth posting to ?comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage? to see if you're one 
of the afflicted. I'm sure I remember problems including warm-reboot.

Not cacheing the video BIOS may notably impact on your m/cs performance.
