Re: CT's Recipe for Vesa Soup.....

Hi Tim !

( Is that the board I sent you ? )

Damn, I know this one! I remember seeing that a lot back in the day....
Just can't think of the answer right now. I think if I ponder this one long
enough, it will come to me. Or someone will come up with the answer.

Video driver, or 32 bit access, or something like that.

Could be your memory also. ( I think I left some on there. ) I have seen
bad L2 cache do this also.

If you go into the Windows directory, and type setup, what video driver does
it show ? You might try going to the plain VGA driver.

Got an ISA vid card or controller you can try ?

It ain't PS/2 nor MCA...matter of fact it ain't even IBM, but I can't
find help....

Trying to build up my first VESA machine on a motherboard with 2 VESA
slots. Slot 1 has my IDE/Floppy controller and Slot 2 has my VESA
video card (TGUI9440a chipset).

Installed MSDOS 6.22 without a hitch.

Installed WFW without a hitch.

Boots to DOS without a hitch.

WFW boot freezes after about 10 seconds of logo....every goddamn time!

Please tell me where to start troubleshooting....and no, I can't
substitute cards because this is the only combination that will work
with this motherboard.

Tell me anything to try.......short of ammonium nitrate.....
