only one card in 64 bit slots allowed on A7M266-D
Hi
I have got an Asus A7M266-D and I am experiencing the following problem: In the second 64 bit slot sits an LSI21320-R dual channel scsi controller. But whenever I put another card (32bit) in the other 64 bit slot the system won't boot. It hangs after grub with a black screen. No splash screen, no console. It does however boot the Suse 10.0 installation DVD or into windows from grub. I did use the slots with 32 bit cards only before so that is not the problem (dip switches on main board are all to off). As I won't get past the initial ram disc I assume it has to do with the linux drivers. Can anyone help? I have run out of 32 bit slots on the board and I need that last slot. alex A7M266-D dual Athlon MP 2600+ -- "Terrorism is the war of the poor and war is the terrorism of the rich."

Hi,
ich habe ein ähnliches Problem mit Grub auch schon gehabt. Du solltest mal versuchen, mit den erweiterten GRUB Optionen verschiedene Einstellungen zu testen. Das hatte bei mir auch geholfen.

This one (the smp) is a bit picky about ram though... alex -- "Terrorism is the war of the poor and war is the terrorism of the rich." (Sir Peter Ustinov) |

(Sir Peter Ustinov) Don't know if this is helpful; A mobo with 2 PCI-X slots usually means 2x100MHz bus speed tops, not 2x133MHz (1Channel)...IOW - 1 PCI-X Channel can be up to 1x133MHz, or 2x100MHz, or 4x66MHz (or as in your case, it seems it's 2x66MHz) -- and because it's only 1 channel, the slowest device will determine the overall Bus speed of all devices connected to that bus. The 266/533MHz buses are just DDR(266) and Quad-pumped(533) respectively, running at the same 133MHz clock speed. |
