Comment 16 for bug 30272

I have been having very similar trouble with my Toshiba Tecra A2 - Eventually, I discovered this thread:

A bootable CD with the pom200t150.IMA as the boot image (you can create this with the k3b tool) will allow you to

"I ran through Option #2 on the disk (Repair Initial Config Set). Then, I chose option #1 (Initial Configuration). This ran a series of config programs that ran fine on the Banias processor. However, when I put the Dothan in, it threw up an error. This error was received when running the file that sets up the CPU Table information. I believe it uses a file called CPINFTBL.BIN for the processor settings and writes them to the BIOS to tell the BIOS about the processor. However, I also believe that the CPINFTBL.BIN is processor-specific. The file I used is for Banias processors and I believe there is another CPINFTBL.BIN file out there for Dothan processors."

It is, i think, aimed at M200 tablet PCs but it worked okay on my Tecra. YMMV, no warranty is expressed or implied.

Obviously, if you haven't ever had the CPU or Motherboard replaced by Toshiba then the situation is not the same.
