2.3 Troubleshooting
1. How to disable the on-board LM78, if you want to install a ASMM.
Current BIOS can not auto-detect the on-board LM78 and LM78 on ASMM card
such that a hardware conflict occurs and results in a system warning. Future BIOS
will auto-detect these two and automatically disable the on-board one. To disable the
on-board LM78 currently, the following operation steps are provided:
1) Format a bootable floppy disk (DISKA)
2) Copy the PCI control program PCICFG.EXE on to DISKA
3) Copy the DOS utility DEBUG.COM onto DISKA
note:
the version of debug.com must be the same as the DOS version on DISKA
or it can not be executed.
4) Adjust the BIOS booting sequence to A:, C: (boot from floppy first)
5) Insert the DISKA and boot the system
note:
Ignore the hardware monitor error as a result of LM78s confliction.
6) Under prompt sign A>, type PCICFG<enter>
7) Under prompt sign BUS00>, type WD 1 3 60 00670290
note:
The on-board LM78 is now disabled
8) Under prompt sign BUS00>, type Q<enter> to exit from the PCI control program.
9) Under prompt sign A>, type DEBUG<enter>
10) Under prompt sign >, type A<enter>
11) Under prompt sign xxxx:0100, type int 19<enter>
12) Under prompt sign xxxx:01yy, type <enter>
13) Remove the DISKA from floppy drive and leave it open
14) Under prompt sign >, type G<enter>
15) Now, you can see the O.S. from hard disk boots-up and LDSM can work with the
LM78 on ASMM.
If your motherboard does not equip with LM78, everything goes fine with LDSM.
