I posted this to the newsgroup some time ago, but as I am still completely
frustrated in making it go, maybe someone here has an idea...
I have a fairly new, generic notebook - the model number that these things
seem to go by is 6200T. It has a SystemSoft chipset and BIOS, but the
problems seem to be that the PCMCIA bridges (there are 3 PCMCIA slots, so
2 bridges. Windows copes with standard drivers) are to PCI not ISA - that is
certainly what the screen messages indicate.
I have tried assorted PAO and non-PAO boot discs; the results are the same in
any case. When the bootup starts, you get the following...
avail memory = 28921856 (28244K)
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
chip0 <SiS 85c501> rev 0 on pci0:0
chip1 <SiS 85c503> rev 1 on pci0:1:0
chip2 <SiS 85c601> rev 1 on pci0:1:1
chip3 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=1039 device=5107 subclass=4)> rev 1
on pci0:2:0
INCORRECTLY or NEVER CONFIGURED.
vga0 <VGA-compatible display device> rev 211 int a irq ?? on pci0:6
chip4 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=119b device=1221 subclass=5)> rev 2
int a irq?? on pci0:13:0
chip5 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=119b device=1221 subclass=5)> rev 2
int a irq?? on pci0:14:0
Probing for devices on PCI bus 1:
[[here it hangs with floppy turning]]
Anyone got _ANY_ suggestions? Please....
Thanks,
