Date: 7 Sep 92 06:19:11 GMT Organization: Center for Reliable and High-Performance Computing, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Lines: 12 Message-ID: <terry.715846751@uivlsi.csl.uiuc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: uivlsi.csl.uiuc.edu Keywords: OPTi Has anyone been able to get 0.1 to run on any 486 machine based on an OPTi chipset? If so, are you using the 486SXWB or 486WB motherboard? I think I am experiencing bug BOOT009 in Nate Williams's bug list version 0.2, where all of the boot floppies lock up the system after displaying the initial copyright message (before listing any devices found). I have an OPTi 486SXWB motherboard (486DX-33, 06/06/91 AMI BIOS). Please, I really need help with this! Also, if no one has found a fix, new buyers should be warned away from this motherboard (or chipset)! Thanks. ---------- Terry Lee terry@uivlsi.csl.uiuc.edu
