Therefore it comes precompiled with the linux, linux-one and linux-one-dev packages.

From kernel 2.6.31 on the acerhdf module is provided inside the kernel tree. I have had my pavilion dv6-2030sa bios currupt for no apparent reason, I am trying to make a recovery USB, when i download and execute the bios update utility, it extracts to c:swsetupexename and runs WinFlash.exe after extracting the files from that, it runs the InsydeFlash.exe (or InsydeFlash圆4.exe) and states cannot load the driver. Really wish they'd switch to something more logical like the British (D-M-Y) or Chinese (Y-M-D). The acerhdf kernel module regulates the fan in a performant and secure way.

If anyone finds this, it works! Alas, it appears my battery really is dead (or at least, updating to 3531 A03 didn't fix the system not detecting it properly, if it's not the battery itself, we'll see when I get a replacement).Īlso, the American date system is so darn counterintuitive. I was about to abandon all hope when luckily I stumbled onto this thread. Paradoxically, the Dell update utility wouldn't run due to the lack of charged battery, and platforms.ini kept correcting itself upon launch (and wouldn't launch at all if the file was put in read-only), so I tried to run it from a USB boot (in itself another headache, apparently there was no Win10 installation media eligible for download with this OEM laptop), but it told me the BIOS update was 'not compatible with this version of Windows' The battery (a Dell original) was being detected as a dead third-party fake, so I coudn't update the BIOS (which I thought was the problem, having read others with this same issue elsewhere). Thanks Grungecow, this worked!! Brought me to the end of a real headache of an afternoon trying to fix my Inspirion 15-3531.

Insydeflash cannot load the driver
