Problems booting-up GA-8IHXP mobo with FastTrak TX2000 & Adaptec 19160 SCSI card
I have a GA-8IHXP (Rev 3.0) mobo with a Promise FastTrak TX2000 RAID card
and Adaptec 19160 Ultra 160 SCSI card installed, and a Seagate 36GB Ultra160 hard drive hooked to the Adaptec card. For some reason, the mobo will hang when booting into WinXP when both these cards are installed. Whenever I remove one card, the system will boot normally into WinXP and everything works great. I tried moving each card into a different PCI slot, alternating each one having a higher priority slot, but nothing seems to make a difference. I've noticed that the Adaptec card will boot OK with the FastTrak if I remove my Seagate Ultra 160 SCSI hard drive from the card. Otherwise, I will only see one BIOS menu appear on bootup from either the Adaptec card or the FastTrak, but not both. I upgraded both the FastTrak TX2000 and Adaptec 19160 with their most recent BIOS versions, as well as the most current BIOS version for my mobo. What else can I try? Since it appears the Seagate HDD seems to be the crux of the problem, I am going to try different ideas with it, such as change the SCSI ID and maybe upgrade the firmware. I was thinking of playing around with IRQ assignments on the Adaptec & FastTrak cards, but this seems futile since everything is PnP and its WinXP anyway. Thanks for any ideas...... |
