AMD motherboard: no reset
Some boards with AMD processor cannot perform any boot reset under a
32bit protected mode operating system (Linux, OS/2, ...).
The reason for this is either a wrong wiring or BIOS configuration,
so the order is easily ignored. DOS uses here another
command, so that the error is not noticed otherwise.
Change the configuration in BIOS and/or the jumpers on the mainboard
to NON-SL-CPU . For doing so read the mainboard's description or
ask your
dealer. Possibly a new BIOS version must be recorded onto the mainboard
. The best is to ask your dealer or the
mainboard manufacturer.
In some boards both must be changed.
Hint: This topic is not really dramatic: Linux is
cleanly shut down!
Markus Hoppe (05681930666-0001@t-online.de) writes about it:
I had it too at my AMD 5x85 P75 133MHz.
But the problem had only appeared, when I have started with Linux
with LOADLIN. When I have installed LILO with Linux/WIN95, it was gone again.
