I learned from our middleware vendor that the A530-5004 was spun
specifically for SES Americom, so for those purchasing A530's make sure you
get the right "sub-version".  Our middleware vendor has tested against the
A530-5001 and A530-5010.

In response to your question, we're not planning to flash our firmware onto
them.  The firmware of the -5001 and -5004 is definitely different -- the
"BIOS" page makes that clear.  The middleware fails when performing the
image signature check.

Are you flashing your own firmware onto them? Otherwise, could it be a 
different version of the firmware? Or different size HDD in it (and the 
middleware makes assumptions about the drive size?)

Which middleware, and in what way does it fail?
