Change Logo Utility does not save modified BIOS capsule files with
correct extension
Problem
When using the Change Logo Utility to modify a BIOS capsule file and replace
the Intel Splash Screen logo with a new one, it fails to save the new capsule file
with a .cap extension. The file produced has an .fd extension. The file is the
correct capsule file but has the wrong extension.
Implication
Users may be confused and believe the utility is not saving the file in the
correct format.
Status
This erratum is fixed in version 4.16 of the utility.
Workaround
When saving the file in the "Save As" dialog box, select Capsule File (*.cap)
from the 'Save as Type' drop-down box. In the File Name box, type the name
of the file with the .cap extension. It is important you include the '.cap'
extension in the file name; otherwise, the Change Logo Utility saves the file
with the incorrect extension.
If you forget to include the '.cap' in the file name but you selected 'Capsule File
(*.cap)' in the 'Save as Type' drop-down box, you can rename the file from
an .fd extension to a .cap extension and this works as well.

PS/2 keyboards and mice may stop functioning after Red Hat*
Enterprise Linux is installed
Problem
After installing Red Hat* Enterprise Linux on a system with BIOS release
R0045, the PS/2 keyboard and mouse stop working; however, USB keyboards
and mice work.
Implication
Users cannot use the Linux operating system if a PS/2 keyboard and mouse
are installed.
Status
This erratum is fixed in BIOS release R0054 and later releases.
Workaround
If the user goes into the BIOS setup and disables port 60/64 emulation, PS/2
keyboards and mice will continue to work. If USB keyboards and mice are used,
the user should enable port 60/64 emulation.
