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)
