  Perhaps for a different reason, I saw a message from a Latitude D600 user
with a similar no-boot-until-BIOS-upgraded problem.  I luckily already had
the latest BIOS so didn't get hosed.    I'd be curious to know the
mechanics of why a low level driver was changed in a service pack.   Was it
related to the additional stack checking?

   I've always tried to prepare for a system hosing as much as possible,
but this is the first time it seems like more than a remote chance.  Should
I tell Grandma in another state to disable Windows automatic update until
the manufacturer certifies her machine for SP2?
