Win2k Installation on 8KNXP Rev. 2; experience and issues..
Included at the end of this post is my setup. I have Windows 2000 SP4 up
and running, but am experiencing problems and hope to gain some insight from the group. Problems include: BIOS screen, OS not loading, and the "blue screen blues." Details are as follows. Note: I currently get past these issues by rebooting; reboot, reboot, reboot, reboot until everything OK. Concerning the BIOS. When I attempt to enter the BIOS setup, I routinely get; a completely blank screen that fails to respond to ALT-CTRL-DEL, or a partially drawn screen that will respond to ALT-CTRL-DEL, or a correctly drawn setup screen that displays incorrect sub-menus, or a properly drawn setup screen with correct sub menus that will not "Save Settings and Exit." Problems occur with and without the DPS2 card.. Concerning the OS not loading. During boot, the OS load stops and messages indicating that "ntoskrnl.exe" and "ntfs.sys" are displayed saying that these files are either missing or corrupt. At this point, I reboot repeatedly until the OS finally loads (usually takes 3 to 6 attempts). Concerning the "blue screen blues." DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS, and miscellany driver faults that do not indicate a specific problem under WinDbg. These problem occur during boot and also after things have been up and running for a while. Both BIOS (main, backup) are the latest version (FG). I have tried running both with and without the DPS2 card. I have Win2000 SP4 installed on a ITE IT8212 RAID0+1 array across four drives (IDE3, IDE4). I have 2 SATA drives as a RAID0 on the Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID controller. I installed the latest (10/1/2003, Ver 1.5.1.7) "ITE IT8212 ATA RAID Controller" driver, but the "Disk drives" driver "ITE Disk Array 0 SCSI Disk Device" in the Device Manager shows a much older date and version (11/14/1999, Ver 5.0.2183.1). I wonder if this difference is an issue.
