SCSI Bios not found
I just put a Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D PCI SCSI Controller on my
pc. Whenever I boot up my PC it searches the LD drives i believe, then it when goes to the scsi controller and then said BIOS not found. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Here is the IRQ info if you need it. IRQ 0 System timer OK IRQ 1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard OK IRQ 3 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller OK IRQ 4 Communications Port (COM1) OK IRQ 5 PCI Modem OK IRQ 5 Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller OK IRQ 6 Standard floppy disk controller OK IRQ 8 System CMOS/real time clock OK IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System OK IRQ 10 Linksys LNE100TX Fast Ethernet Adapter(LNE100TX v4) OK IRQ 10 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller OK IRQ 10 Multimedia Audio Controller OK IRQ 11 Video Controller (VGA Compatible) OK IRQ 11 Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D PCI SCSI Controller OK IRQ 11 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller OK IRQ 12 PS/2 Compatible Mouse OK IRQ 13 Numeric data processor OK IRQ 14 Primary IDE Channel OK IRQ 15 Secondary IDE Channel OK -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/Genera...pict58607.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

Whenever I boot up my PC it searches the LD drives i believe, then it when goes to the scsi controller and then said BIOS not found. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Here is the IRQ info if you need it. snip What are "LD" drives? Low-density? Laser disc (anyone have those anymore)? http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-quer...act&Acronym=ld lists many entries for an "LD" acronym. The system BIOS loads first and does its scanning to find drives. So if there are hard drives attached to the motherboard IDE ports then those drives get found first and get used as the boot drive (unless you configure the BIOS' boot device order differently provided it has a SCSI option in the list). Then the SCSI BIOS loads. If there were no hard drives on the motherboard's IDE ports (for the system BIOS to find) or if the system BIOS was configured in its boot device order to use a SCSI drive (which also includes IDE controller cards) then the drive on the SCSI controller gets used as the boot device. At no time did you actually mention that you have a SCSI hard drive attached to your SCSI controller. The SCSI controller *must* find a hard drive attached to it to bother loading its BIOS support for those drives. If you are using the SCSI controller to support SCSI devices *other* than mass storage devices (i.e., hard drives) then the SCSI BIOS is *not* needed and won't get loaded. For example, if you use the SCSI controller for a SCSI scanner and that is all that is attached to the SCSI controller then its BIOS doesn't get loaded for supporting hard drives that aren't there. For my Adaptec AHA-2940UW controller, I have to press Ctrl-A when its BIOS loading message appears. That way, you can enter its BIOS setup to disable the support for the hard drives since you don't have any connected to the SCSI controller card. By the way, you did not install an Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW/2940D SCSI controller card. It would have been just *one* of those models, not all three. That list shows a family of controllers that a driver may support, not which one YOU physically installed. |

Push ctrl-A when it’s booting and enable the bios. Michael I dunno the Fujitsu Ultra 160/68 pin/LVD SCSI is not detecting the BIOS for some reason. I hooked up a Compaq BD00921937 and it detected the bios. I’m not for sure which one is better. How would I go to make the Fujitsu detect the BIOS? -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/Genera...pict58607.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
