PCI Card not allowing the System to Boot
I am currently trying to develop a pci card/driver. Currently I have gotten the card and driver to work on an older machine with the following specs.
root@localhost TestCode]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 11 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1200MHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1196.927 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 2394.96 clflush size : 32 However when I try to plug my board into a newer machine with the following specs.... [root@localhost bramsey]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 15 model : 4 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.93GHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 2933.536 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 5 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc up pni monitor ds_cpl tm2 cid cx16 xtpr lahf_lm bogomips : 5870.73 clflush size : 64 The system will not boot. It freezes at the splash screen for the BIOS. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this issue would be great. Thanks. |
well if it's freezing at POST that's prior to the driver loading.
I would recommend getting a POST card to find out where in the boot sequence the system is halting. Might provide you some insight to the problem with the hardware. http://www.uxd.com/hardware-diagnostics.shtml http://shopv2.elstonsystems.com/inde...643aa6738719d4 http://www.pc-diagnostics.com/pc_dia..._pci_bus.shtml http://www.elstonsystems.com/products.html |
