Report: nVidia nForce430 chipset using acpitest-20110808

[losepete]

I installed the files from I then edited the config.sys line to

PSD=ACPI.PSD

and rebooted.

Boot stops after floppy disk drive seek with the last text line:-

Internal revision 14.105_SMP

and the hard disk led stays on.

I rebooted to a command line and edited config.sys acpi line to:-

PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /APIC

I then rebooted.

Boot fails as above.

I then booted to a command line and changed the config.sys acpi line to:-

PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC

Rebooting was successful.

Conclusion: acpi.psd is unable to boot my system when trying to use APIC.

Anything I can do to help rectify this?

Something that I have only just noticed:-

Using PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP /PIC results in only *1* cpu core in use.

Previous builds of acpi using the above config.sys line always found both cores of my cpu.

I don't have a problem with ACPI.PSD recognizing both Intel CPUs. However, my PCI serial port card refuses to be recognized by COM.SYS. It works fine with OS2APIC.PSD.

Chuck... did you try PSCOM.SYS?

Pete... sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with your hardware and ACPI. There is a new test version out (0821) - maybe worth a try?

[Chuck McKinnis]

I will probably try PSCOM.SYS when I get a chance.

Did get error message on VPIC.SYS until I put it in \OS2.

Would help if the zip file came with the directories in it.
