[LUG] 'New' Computer boot 'problems' : Was bios upgrade (ish)

 

I made a freedos boot CD (Thanks  Rob) and put the bios upgrade stuff on a 
floppy so I could save a copy of the old one!.
Upgraded the Bios, restarted and wow thats faster!

I started this upgrade off as after upgrading to Jaundiced Jackrabbit on 
booting I was getting the following
[timing info]ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5]
[later........]ata2:SRST Failed (errno=16)
[laterstill...]ata2:SRST Failed (errno=16)
...
I'm still getting these but the boot procedure for ubuntu is a lot faster and 
the wireless comes up a lot lot quicker!
Any clues on clearing the above?
