I ran PCITEST downloaed from http://ubcd.sourceforge.net/, and, I get
the following message:

What do you mean with VIA ?
miniport driver for irq steering may
not be loaded.
Click to expand...

I forgot to say that my OS is W98SE.
In the PCI bus properties, I have everything crossed (in "use the IRQ
steering) except "Getting the IRQ table from PCIBIOS 2.1 in protected mode.
ACPI set to?

I don't think I have this option in the bios settings (but I'll check it )

I haven't found anything looking like an ACPI option in the bios settings.

I don't know if this can help you, but, I have a dual boot W98SE/linux.
and, in the linux logs, I have this curious message:
"Nov 26 16:24:27 kernel: PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of
device 0000:00:08.0"

the device 8 is my vga card as described here:

Bus 0, device 8, function 0:
VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage II+ 215GTB
[Mach64 GTB] (rev 154).
Master Capable. Latency=64. Min Gnt=8.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x10000000 [0x10ffffff].
I/O at 0xde00 [0xdeff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xffeff000 [0xffefffff].

It would seem that my processor is not able to access directly to the
video RAM... but, i'm not sure of this.
what do you think of this issue ?

thanks

Your BIOS apparently doesn't have a PCI IRQ Routing Table so Windows will
not be able to dynamically route PCI IRQ assignments.

Your BIOS apparently doesn't have a PCI IRQ Routing Table so Windows will
not be able to dynamically route PCI IRQ assignments.

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/pciirq.mspx



what's the impact of this missing table ? should I do anything with the BIOS
?
in the following link (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/pciixa.mspx),
they talk about my chipset (PIIX4 chip set): it would be possible to get the
IRQ routing on my W98SE. I only need to run regedit and update the right
registry. but, I know there's some risk to use regedit....

thanks

That page isn't really for users but it suggests that maybe you didn't load
all the motherboard drivers: in particular the miniport driver, if it hasone.

additional informations :

in the PCI bus properties:
- the stering IRQ properties mention "IRQ table read from the bios with
the help of the real mode interface" and "IRQ miniport has been loaded"...
- the parameters mention : use hardware is crossed and not use bios

Sorry, I was not precise enough. M550 isn't my mobo. it is M572
(http://motherboards.mbarron.net/models/pcchips/m572.htm ). here, you
can find the ID of my mobo before the BIOS upgrade:
51-1216-001437-00111110-071595-I430TX-001_10_TX-H. with this ID, you can
find the BIOS program (990224S.exe) that I use to flash my BIOS.
you can find it there:
http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=55924 . you
can notice the ID is exactly the same.

on the website you send,
http://www.pcchipsusa.com/support-discontinued-bios.asp#M550, there is
the 5728b27.zip which contains only 1 file: 5721127.rom. No boot file
like aminfxxxx.exe. I ask on driverguide website why there are 2 files
on their website. but, I have no answer.

I don't know what to do. I cannot find again my old bios (971216S.ROM).
i would be sure i use the right program (990224S.exe) for my bios.

I understand that. What I don't understand is why you think "M572 BIOS
File: 5728B27.ZIP" means M550.

There are three listed:

M572 BIOS File : 5728B27.ZIP (11/27/98, 115KB) ... for the M572

M572A BIOS File : 572A0630.ZIP (6/30/98, 115KB)... for the M572A

M550 BIOS File : 5501117S.ZIP (11/17/97, 124KB)... for the M550

Obviously, if you have an M572 you use the one for the M572.

What I don't see is what version your board is. Look for a version number
near where keyboard plugs in e.g. V 1.2, or 2.5. etc.

Yes, I notice. But I don't know where it came from or who made it or what
it was supposed to 'fix'. And I don't know if they did it right. But since
you have problems with it...

on the website you send,
http://www.pcchipsusa.com/support-discontinued-bios.asp#M550, there is
the 5728b27.zip which contains only 1 file: 5721127.rom. No boot file

It is typical for mobo manufacturers to place only the BIOS image itself in
the 'BIOS' download and the flash program in a separate download.

like aminfxxxx.exe. I ask on driverguide website why there are 2 files
on their website. but, I have no answer.

It's the flash program.

I don't know what to do. I cannot find again my old bios (971216S.ROM).
Click to expand...

Neither can I. It's so old that it doesn't show up on any 'update' lists.
i would be sure i use the right program (990224S.exe) for my bios.

thanks

Try here. http://bns-computer.de/Support/mb_572.htm

It's in german but decipherable and they have a BIOS update for the M572
later than that outdated PCChips page (which I found through a back door as
they no longer list the M572 ANY where on their site the 'normal' way). The
24.02.99 5720224s.rom (same as the 990224S.exe BIOS) notes say it fixes
drives > 8.4 gig. (page also has the flash utility as a separate download,
like I mentioned).

Or, you can pick any previous version.

I also found this patched version of the 990224S for enabling
K6-II+/K6-III+ processors (I used a similar patched BIOS on my now dead
M571 and it worked fine). Their patched BIOS refers to the 990224S as the
'original' source they used to patch and create their 990224SJ.ZIP version.

After all that it kind of makes me think it isn't the BIOS that's your
problem. Did you clear CMOS after the flash?

I understand that. What I don't understand is why you think "M572 BIOS
File: 5728B27.ZIP" means M550.

no, I don't. I only say that I found, on driverguibe website, 2 files
matching my M572 : 5728B27.ZIP and 990224S.exe. I used the 2nd one. but, I
hope it's the right one fitting my bios.

(http://motherboards.mbarron.net/models/pcchips/m572.htm ). here, you
can find the ID of my mobo before the BIOS upgrade:
51-1216-001437-00111110-071595-I430TX-001_10_TX-H. with this ID,

What I don't see is what version your board is. Look for a version number
near where keyboard plugs in e.g. V 1.2, or 2.5. etc.

I don't understand what you mean with "keyboard plugs". where can I find
this number ?

I know this site, but, as you say, with a "normal way" - as I did -, I was
not able to find those informations.

do you think I can use the 5720224s.rom without fear ? If I face to
concerns, I 'll be able to use the 990224S.exe to go back to the current
bios. correct ?
do I use amifl815.exe or amifl634.com ?

But, as you know, neither I have K6-II+/K6-III+ processors nor AMD.

Yes, I did. I can clear again ?

thanks a lot for all those infos !!

They both 'fit'. They're different releases at different times. "990224S"
is apparently the 'newest' and last one they released.

You have a keyboard. It plugs into the motherboard. Look where it plugs in.

They're the same BIOS (or are supposed to be) but I trust that the
5720224s.rom is 'official' while I am not so sure about stuff submitted by
lord knows who on the various flavors of drivers.com

do I use amifl815.exe or amifl634.com ?

I'm not on that page any more but, barring a note on it to the contrary,
I'd use the later version, meaning amifl815.exe.
Or, you can pick any previous version.

Doesn't matter. It supports all the same ones, PLUS the K6-II+/III+ processors.

Unplug the machine and reset CMOS for a couple of minutes; then put the
jumper back to normal.

it's a misunderstanding of myself. let's stop with M550.
You have a keyboard. It plugs into the motherboard. Look where it plugs in.

Outside of my PC: It plugs on DB-9 serial port behind my PC. Nothing is
written around. On the left, I have the mouse plug, and, on the right,
the parallelle port.
Does I need to look inside of my PC ? on the mobo ?

ok. I will do that in the next days and keep you inform of the results.

Thanks a lot !
