Please describe your "PCI IRQ" problem.

I think that it's the problem where BIOS does not assign IRQs to PCI devices. The problem is that the PCI slot numbers (as seen in MODBIN) are different in the new BIOS. If you have a BIOS that works correctly, I can patch the new one.

Yes, Rainbow, that's THAT unassigned IRQ to PCI problem.

My last installed Gemlight BIOS for that motherboard is rather old ... v2.04 ! But it saves my motherboard when i got the problem after flashing the new DTK BIOS. I still have the backup (128KB).

I need the support for larger HD ... So what's next ?

And thanks both of you !

Send the backup to my e-mail (zipped). I will change the PCI slot numbers and I can also patch the 32GB and 64GB bugs so it will work with HDDs upto 128GB.

I've just compared my beta BIOS of 2A59CDIJ with DTK's release of it, and indeed they are very different.
Instead, the PCI assignments of the beta (2A59KD1J) and DTK's 2A59JDIK are identical, so perhaps it's DTK who screwed up with both releases (RA/RB & RC).
Rainbow, compare his emailed BIOS with both of DTK's releases.

Ok Rainbow, i flash the corrected BIOS you sent me.

PCI IRQ list is built normally. The computer seems to work normally, under DOS and Windows. I haven't been able to check yet with a HD with high capacity.

But so far, all seems to be good.

Thanks a lot, and i mean A LOT !
And thank you too ajzchips !

If i encounter any problem, i'll let you know.

I noticed that 2A59JDIK has the slot numbers like 2A59JDIJ had before...
