EISA Configuration

[Ayman Altounji]

I have just purchased a Prosignia 500 and trying to install Linux.

Have upgraded to the latest ROMPaq and created a system partition.

I now have the problem:
175-EISA Configuration / Slot Mismatch Device Found
101 - I/O ROM Error

I know this refers to the EISA card in slot 2, which requests the file
!SLX0411.CFG, but I can not find this file anywhere (machine came with no disks what so ever).

If I remove the card system starts OK, but still get
101 - I/O ROM Error Message.

I am not exactly sure what the card is for either!

In Addition, I have set the boot order to CD, A, C and it just ignores the SCSI CD.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Download and make the required system configuration disks from this web address.

All Compaq cards and devices use EISA configuration files that start with !CPQ. We do not know who the manufacture is of a card that requires a !SLX configuration file. You will need to look at the card and determine who the manufacture is. Then contact the manufacture for the EISA configuration file.

Verify that the CD-ROM drive jumpers for the SCSI ID and the SCSI termination is set correctly. If the SCSI cable has a black plastic terminator at the end of the cable, the SCSI termination must be removed from all devices connected to the cable. The booting hard drive should have a SCSI ID of 0.

You can perform a read test of the CD-ROM drive using the Compaq server diagnostics. Download and make the diagnostic disk from this web address.
