Motherboard Chaintech 5IFM-0 causes trouble

Applies to

Chaintech: Version 5IFM-0

Symptom:

You have a motherboard Chaintech 5IFM-0 with a BIOS version before 13. or 14.6.1996 .

You experience hangups, delays, boot and memory problems under Linux and also under other operating systems such as OS/2 and DOS/Win .

The compiler stops under Linux with an error signal11 or signal7.

Cause:

There is a bug in the 5IFM-0's Bios. This problem is solved with Bios versions from 6/13/96 (or 6/14/96) on.

Solution:

The only solution is to upgrade the Bios of the motherboard. You get the necessary software package directly from Chaintech (Tel. in Germany : 0 40 / 69 69 48 0; FAX; 0 40 / 69 69 48 48). No such problems must be expected anymore afterwards.

You can also get the upgrade from the Chaintech Web site under the URL : http://www.chaintech.com.tw/BIOS/5ifm.htm.

In the case of ongoing problems you can also contact the technical support of Chaintech under elt@mail.chaintech.de

Important !

Only the version 5IFM-0 of this board is affected, not the successor 5IFM-1 (since approx. july 1996)
