Hello,

When trying to upgrade BIOS on my R740 using Linux from version 2.2.11 to 2.4.8 I get an error never seen before, it would be nice if someone had a clue about it:

# sh BIOS_9P3C0_LN_2.4.8.BIN

Collecting inventory...

Running validation...

PowerEdge BIOS

The version of this Update Package is newer than the currently installed
version.
Software application name: BIOS
Package version: 2.4.8
Installed version: 2.2.11

 

Continue? Y/N:y
Executing update...

.
The update failed to complete

Thanks,
