Hi, I searched and did not see this info so I'm going to ask to see if anyone know about this.

I have min 10v with SL 10.6.2, using netbook installer 0.8.3 (final). At boot time, the apple logo is always stretched (horizontally), so are the disk drive icon at boot loader. This has bios A05.

A friend just got the same 10v and have BIOS A06. I cloned by disk to his and his apple logo, the bootloader disk icon all "NORMAL". Is it because of the BIOS? or somehow my screen is different etc....

Everything works, but I thought maybe someone know an answer to use or notice this?

if you generate an dsdt file, the os should get correct infos from the bios, rerun nbi and check generate dsdt. Whats new in a06 you can see on dells hp.
i mean it was something better on the ethernetadapter, but not sure.

Not likely a BIOS issue. I have A05 on my 10v and running 10.6.2

My screen displays are normal, nothing elongated.

I don't meant the SCREEN is ALWAYS elongated, only at bootloader. The 'apple' logo is short and fat while the 'disk' icon before boot is the same 'wide' version.

Since my mini works fine with A05, I was thinking I don't want to update it. But it was just one think that is different between my mini and my friends mini and I wonder if anyone else has the same experience.

I knew what you meant. My logos are not short and fat while booting.

I've seen that happen with my 10v, at one time when I was doing some experimentation. But I cannot recall what I was doing since that was back in Dec. So I do know what you are talking about -- and do not have that with my present installation (A05 and 10.6.2).

maybe there is another reason then..... I have DUAL BOOT SL 10.6.2 on partition 2, and WIN7 on partition 3. I wonder if that is the problem. I think I will put in a different disk and install and try....

Dual boot is a much different situation, one I've not looked at (I use Parallels to run WinXP on my MacBook vs. a dual boot approach). My 10v is strictly an OS X machine.
