Hi Aleksi

Can you (or anyone else) tell me how to do the BIOS flash?

I've tried using FreeDOS on a live USB stick install and that in itself
works fine. You can navigate around in a DOS environment but when I try
to run the HP BIOS file SP52477.exe it says the file cannot be run in a
DOS environment.

Does this mean I have to re-install WIndows on my machine first? I don't
think I want to go down that road..

Thanks, Martin

BTW, for anyone interested: I've tested heaps (10 plus) different
(recent) distros from all the main Linux flavours and the bug always
persists.

Title:
  1180:0822 SD Card Reader Incomplete / Corrupt Files

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  HP Pavillion dv6720ez Laptop with built-in SD (and multi-) card
  reader.

  SD card reader displays incomplete or corrupted files. Eg, jpgs shown
  as random coloured thumbnail or random characters. Some files are not
  displayed at all. Some files are correctly displayed. Also 'Error
  interpreting JPEG file (Bogus DQT index 15)' and 'Error interpreting
  JPEG file (JPEG datastream contains no image)'

  Opening an affected file (if you can see it) does not work. Different
  error messages occur - 'could not open file' or 'type not supported'
  'could not display' etc. Some correctly displayed files also yield
  these messages.

  Ejecting the card usually results in Nautilus closing/crashing. In
  some cases browsing the file structure or attempting to open some
  files also crashes Nautilus. When it closes there is no prompt for bug
  report.

  The card reader was a problem a couple of years ago (8? Series of
  Ubuntu) on my HP Laptop - simply didn't work at all but since
  Karmic/Lucid it's worked flawlessly.

  The bug is present in 10.10 and 11.04 (no change or improvement).
  10.04 works perfectly.

  Not having the Nautilus crashing problem anymore (in 11.10) and
  haven't seen the randomly coloured thumbnails (as shown in screenshot
  from bug report 649912.

  Tested kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.4-rc1-precise/
  Bug persists.
