Hi:
In my last posting, I described changing some BIOS setting individually.
After some feedback, I have tried to change a group of settings. I changed
the following three settings before booting the installation disks:
BIOS parameter Default Changed to
-------------- -------- ----------
PCI IRQ Sharing No Yes
Plug and Play OS Yes No
Reset Resource Assignments No Yes
These changes seem to be in line with the suggestions that I received, and
to allow the most flexibility.
RESULT: No change in behavior.
Other BIOS settings that may be of interest, with default settings:
Chipset Options
CPU to PCI Delayed Transaction Enabled
CPU to PCI IDE Write Posting Enabled
WC Write Posting Disabled
PCI 32-clock Target Timer Enabled
PCI-to-DRAM Pipeline Enabled
Burst Write Combining Enabled
Read-Around-Write Enabled
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay 3
SDRAM CAS Latency 3
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time 3
MA Wait Status Slow
Memory Options
Internal Cache (CPU Cache) Enabled
External Cache Enabled
Cache Scheme (informative only) Write Back
Memory at 15MB-16MB Reserved for System
Memory Parity Mode Disabled
C800h-0FFFFh Shadow Disabled
John
