Elitebook owners, try this BIOS update for UEFI booting? (at your own risk)

Tweet

One of our readers, Gary T, testing the new Elitebook 8440w just sent in an email saying that the new Elitebooks work well with Windows and Linux UEFI boot mode. He also recommends that current Elitebook owners try (at their own risk of course) to use new Elitebook BIOS updates (such as this one) to see if the old Intel device and wireless issues go away.

  I wonder if they do, i know i installed a probook 4415s the other day, that one is an AMD machine with UEFI and worked without a hitch.

  When I try to load HpBiosUpdate.efi (from the EFI shell), it creates an HpBiosUpdate.log file with only the following line:

  01/28/2010 20:14:03 Failed Loading HP BIOS Image Interface Protocol

  I sure wish HP would fix the old EliteBook laptops.
