Oh, this is a common error for Novell Compsurf-test ! It is not possible to
go around this with some major hardware peeling.
You must patch your bios entries, say you have to change any entry in the bios
into the wanted type. So, you need a ERpom burner and some software for this.
If interested, I post how to patch the BIOS.
