Re: HMC UpDate Gotcha's

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Your i5 will reboot all on it's own so you will definitely want ALL 
partitions down cold.. It will TAKE SOME TIME and appear to be dead, or 
at the very least lethargic for some minutes. From the time you commit 
the change to get back to Standby is 40 minutes or so. Much of that time 
the thing appears to be powered off and doing nothing. Just let it go 
and watch the box with the little timer in it, it will keep you 
appraised of status (sorta). As long as that box is still displayed keep 
your hands off the keyboard AND the mouse! :o)

5.2.1 HMC firmware is good enough.
