I've just put together a system with the k8v. It comes with bios 1003.
I've tried flashing to the 1004 bios with a plain DOS boot disk, and also
from the windows utility. Each time, it seems to go through the flash
process normally, but on system reboot, it's still 1003. I can't figure out
if I'm doing anything wrong or not. Any advice on how to get the bios
flashed to 1004, or could this be a problem with some boards? Thanks.

If you look in the readme for the 1004 bios zip file it states that you MUST
use the included flash utility from DOS. It clearly states that the other
versions of the flash utility will not work.

Actually here's the readme file from the 1004 archive

K8V BIOS 1004

BIOS update procedure

1.Don't use EZflash and Afudos to update K8V1004 BIOS
2.Download and unzip K8V1004.zip.
3.Copy all files into the floppy disk, or you might have problem with
updating BIOS.
4.Boot the system into DOS prompt.
5.Simply execute "K8V1004.exe" file to update BIOS.
Do not shutdown and restart the system while updating the BIOS!

There is also a beta 1005_006 bios. I'm currently running it with no obvious
issues.

Do you know of anything that it fixes? It'd be useful to know if it's
worth upgrading to it.
