Hi,
My system comprises of the following:
a. Intel D850GB Motherboard
b. Intel P-4 1.4 GHz
c. 256MB RDRAM
d. Seagate SCSI (10K rpm) HDD 17.5GB
e. Matrox G450 AGP Card.
f. Creative PCI Sound Card
g. Adaptec SCSI 19160 Card ( for SCSI HDD).
h. Adapetc IDE RAID PCI Card 1200A
i. Seagate 40GB (7200 rpm) IDE HDDS ( qty = 2).
j. Linksys 10/100 PCI LAN Card.
This system was running correctly under Win 2K as well as Win XP-Pro.
Last night I installed RedHat Linux 9.0 on it. Before installtion, all other O/S have been removed, and now only Linux is present on the SCSI HDD. Pls note that I install my O/s and software on SCSI. Now when I start my system 4 out of 5 times it halts while initial messages are appearing. And always following is the message where it gets stuck:
apm:BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x0b (Drive version 1.14)
mxt_scan_bios:enter
Then I deleted Linux 9.0, and installed 7.2 again the same problem is occuring.
Now I removed all cards from the system and at the moment just AGP and LAN card are present. I hv also tried with changing the AGP Card from Matrox to a generic one, but the problem still remains there.
Can anyone advise me of the nature of this error ?
Thanks to all.
