My mobo is EXP8551 REV 1.1 - TRITON
I friend found me an Award BIOS Chip (PCI PNP 586)
I believe there is problem with the BIOS again!
The BIOS code bottom of the screen shows 430VX somewhere
but I think that it should have been TRITON there.
The BIOS cannot assign IRQ for 2 brand new ethernet RLT8139 cards.
I tried to load versions v7.0 and 7.2 of Redhat Linux and noone can't load the SYSLINUX from CD-ROM.
Finally FreeSCO Freesco v0.3.1(www.freesco.org) can load from floppy and hard disk but it can't find my 2 ethernet cards.
Newly placed Award BIOS on EXP8551 REV 1.1 makes problem
That's because the BIOS "in" the chip is not for your board! Try using the hot-flash method to flash the EXP8551 BIOS in your old chip.
