[SOLVED]Updating BIOS on eee PC 900
this is related to my post over here but i think it deserves it's own thread and it'll get more attention with a more specific title. sorry if it's a bit of a cross post.
i want to upgrade my BIOS on my EEE PC 900. i'm running rev 0802 right now.
using our wiki i downloaded 900-ASUS-0906.zip from here. i unzipped the package and saved the .ROM file as 900.ROM on a fat32 formatted USB stick.
[sidenote] the wiki originally said to name the file 701.ROM and thas was a bit confusing b/c it didn't say if that was because it was a model 701 or that it just needed to be named that no matter what. well, i googled and found out it's XXX.ROM where XXX is your model number. be that as it may, i tried it both ways with the same result below. i did however, update the wiki with my findings [/sidenote]
rebooting with usb stick inserted, hit A+F2... and it just hangs on "Reading file 900.ROM" it'll sit there for as long as i have the patience.
i hard poweroff and i'm still in 0802 BIOS (luckily) just have to fix some settings and i'm back to normal.
has anyone successfully udated their BIOS? am i missing something here?

Re: [SOLVED]Updating BIOS on eee PC 900
A while ago, I used fat16 since fat32 didn't work for me. Also, according to the Asus website, the most recent Bios for the 900 is 1006.

If you enter your model, etc., it takes you to the Bios update page.
