Sorry, I was in a hurry this morning and I realize my reply was incomplete.
BTW, the post you quoted is taken from my own blog...
Yours is a Yonah CPU but it should not be a D0 stepping one.
AFAIK the T2350 either has an "ES" stepping or a "C0" stepping. I'm not sure if this makes a difference, because the only info I have is related to non-Yonah CPUs at all (mine is a "Merom", and downgrading the BIOS works).
But the info on BIOS 1.17 (the version released after 1.10) says:
current BIOS V 1.17:
Solved problems:
- None
Known errors, problems and restrictions:
- None
Additional information:
- Intel Core Duo (Yonah) D0 stepping processors are now supported.
Therefore it looks like only D0 stepping processors need this (v1.17). Yours SHOULD NOT be a D0 processor.
Anyway, since BIOS upgrading/downgrading is reversible, my suggestion is: downgrade the BIOS and try. If it still does not work, just get back to v1.20
Of course, what I stated on my blog, is valid for this post too:
