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 ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
