I just installed the beta 1 release of Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwal), my laptop rebooted to get this error message. Since the error says outdated BIOS, I'll look to see if a new one is available.

Zenon Piatek, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p linux <replace-
Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https:/
Thanks in advance.
