Greetings and hugs Lynx, Eli, GaryA and Zandar, M.I.A the last few days cos of old dear arthritis, however, new mobo issues too.
Bought the b650 aorus elite ax v2 at a real bargain price, do love my bargains, as the bios in the b650 is hell on earth to update in Linux. However, unlike the b550 v2, Gigabyte didn't change to the update in bios system, it's the same as in the ax!
Know i should have checked before buying but i didn't, would have bought it anyway while it's so cheap, it's a BIG improvement on the ax. Done exactly what Gigabyte said, renamed the name/32a file to GIGABYTE.bin, tried a few other potential workarounds too but no go.
If anyone can help save my hair and prevent the fate worse than death to me, installing WINDOWS to update the blasted bios, i'd be so grateful. Will look in later, hope somebody might have some ideas, all that's good for now.
