I have been facing serious issues with my XPS M1330 running Fedora, but now after the BIOS update (which I had no clue how to perform until I ran into your site), every thing is in order. My machine runs like a breeze! I just thought I should drop in a word of thanks. Dan,

I have heard people say about the reboot=bios kernel line but I didn't need to edit anything on my system, I just did the reboot command in my terminal and it worked. Thanks again for your input, it's very useful :) Thanks Bobby I will add this information to the post and direct people to check out your instructions for downgrading.
