well, to make things short, the issue is with this quite "creative" bios-update-app: afulnx
-> http://hargrave.info/articles/afulnx.html elaborates quite nicely.

now, Mr. Hargrave nicely provided a gitrepo for this module to build:
https://github.com/romanhargrave/amifldrv

but in the end I fail completely:
~/bios/amifldrv/amifldrv# make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.32-32-pve/build SUBDIRS=/root/bios/amifldrv/amifldrv modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.32-32-pve/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [default] Error 2


using the fully integrated tool from ami would be nice, but as it needs also to build the kernelmodule to update the bios it fails too:
~/bios/BIOSLinux64# ./fbios_64.sh V9.60
'960.bin'
Error: Cannot locate kernel source.
e - Error: Kernel source files cannot be found.
Error:BIOS flash unsucessfully!

in the end I tried to add:
deb-src https://enterprise.proxmox.com/debian wheezy pve-enterprise
to my sources.list but there is no source-repo...

any advice is greatly appreciated.

the issue behind this request is: bios-update via any other means would mean a longer downtime and that's what we're trying to prevent here.
