Not really linux issues, but trying to setup a linux server and the
BIOS/motherboard is causing problems and I've seen quite a few people on
the list with this motherboard.
Is there a way to get it to boot without a Keyboard? I am trying to
set it up as a server and was unable to have it boot without the
keyboard. From the manual it looked like the option 'Post Errors' on
the BIOS's "Boot Screen was what I needed, but my BIOS does not display
that option. It appears that my BIOS is newer than what is documented:
mine - PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0, copyright 1985-1997
manual - PhoenixBIOS 4.06, Copyright 1985-1995.
I see two BIOS updates on the diamondmm support page (Micronics was
bought by Diamond), but now sure which, if any I should use. They say
W6LI2M_3.EXE
Flash Bios Update for Micronics
Mainboard W6LI ver -03 (Support for SA0,
SA1 and SB1 steppings only)
W6LI2M_4.EXE
Flash Bios Update for Micronics
Mainboard W6LI ver -04 (Update to Phoenix
4.06 core, support for hard drives
up to approx. 8 gigs, support for SA0, SA1 and
SB1 steppings only)
My board is a W6-LI-007 ( w/SCSI, no Sound)..
Has anyone upgraded the BIOS to either of these successfully? If you
did does it have the 'Post Errors' option in the BIOS?
Thanks,
Mark
