If you are using the Adaptec PCI SCSI Card AHA-2940/45, please set at 'Medium' (for the Local Memory Detect Point). That should do the trick. If not, then disable the PCI Byte Merge. If that still does not solve the problem, then flash your bios to the latest one and try again. ---- || Shoppers Network BEST PRICES, FULLY x86 COMPATIBLE & FAST!!! || PO BOX 16627 Cyrix 686s now available! || San Francisco, CA 94116 Email - info@shoppersnet.com | ------------------------------> WWW - http://www2.shoppersnet.com -------------------------------> WWW - http://www.shoppersnet.com/shopping
