I apologize if you've already looked at this...but. Have you messed with the boot IDE or SCSI first setting in the bios? Also, I think that board has one of those annoying bioses which you have to scroll down to see all the settings. Try looking again for a floppy disable setting, I've never used an LS120 but disabling the floppy seems sensible. I'm assuming that you've got an IDE CDROM.....if not you'll need to take a real good look at your SCSI controller's bios and the MB boot order. ~Brandon ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Bowden <ragnar@sysabend.org> To: Jin Guojun <jin@george.lbl.gov> Cc: <richard@cogsci.ed.ac.uk>; <hardware@FreeBSD.ORG>; <thebs@smithconcepts.com>; <thebs@theseus.com> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 11:29 PM Subject: Re: K7V problem? <- Make sure DIMM is in slot 1 > On Fri, 13 Oct 2000, Jin Guojun wrote: > > :On Fri, 13 Oct 2000 Jamie Bowden <ragnar@sysabend.org> wrote: > > :} I have no idea if the DIMM is registered or not.
