Seems to, I loaded the driver during the install process for Windows 2008 and was then able to see the hard drives, didn't bring up any error messages.
hi h ave a pata dvd drive i have also tried burning with the recommends u said i still have no luck does this mean i need to go buy a genuine copy of windows also will windows
Do you know if the dvd drive is working ok? Have you tried swapping in another drive. Just make sure you're using decent brand media like Verbatim...try to stay away from generic media or even Memorex.
hi i have tested the drive on another machine booted windows fine and i am using good media and the drive booted the media ok in another machine
Sorry but my only other suggestion is to check your IDE cable position and jumper setting on the drive. Other people haven't had any trouble booting from a PATA CD/DVD drive.
hi i finally got it all working great i had to get a boot disc and use mini xp to then instal xp pro after that i installed windows 7 and all is well thank you for all your help with this problem cheers rob
Power requirement Hello everyone. This is not a question but the bios but I can't find any other active forums for this motherboard so I thought I would try asking my question here. I'm trying to determine the best power supply to use from my system using HDAMA with 2 Opteron 270s and 8GB of PC3200 ECC ram. I can find the power requirement for the CPU, memory, controller, and drives but not the motherboard it's self. Does anyone know what the power requirement are? Thanks.
No, but I'm using an Antec 650W with the following: HDAMB 2 x Opteron 280 4GB PC3200 ECC Registered ATI Radeon 3850 512MB AGP 3 x 7200 RPM hard drives 3 x Optical drives (Optiarc BD-RW, Optiarc DVD-RW, Plextor CD-RW)
need dsdt file hi there thank you for your great work i own a ibm intellistation a pro with two opteron 285 cpu's could you please post the dsdt file for them mine is buggy (linux powernow-k8 problem..) so that i could use it to fix my dsdt and compile it into my kernel i attached my dsdt without any modding thank you my bios link www-947.ibm .com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5086836&brandind=5000004
thank you very much for your work i just compiled your dsdt in my kernel 3.2 boot up fine no powernow-k8 bug but it freezes direct after starting ondemand governor could you please chance the vcore to 1300mv be the lowest value @ 1000 Mhz i tried my self to calculate with /wejp.k. vu/projects/ howto_cnq_athlon_64_x2 but had no luck and not the same values for your settings thank you
awett, Right now I'm matching what the Linux kernel is doing with respect to the injected PSS states. Please try a recent Fedora LiveCD and let me know if it runs stable on your box. I want to do that first in case I messed something up with the Opteron 285 (OSA285FAA6CB) ACPI _PSS objects. In dmesg, you should be able to get the following output from the powernow-k8 module. If it's something different, please let me know too.

Feb 9 01:02:28 andre-desktop kernel: [Firmware Bug]: powernow-k8: Try again with latest BIOS the same as my linux mint debian 64 bit i also know that rm clock with win xp and win 7 only run stable with 2600 MHz @ 1350 mV 2400 MHz @ 1350 mV 2200 MHz @ 1350 mV 2000 MHz @ 1350 mV 1800 MHz @ 1300 mV 1000 MHz @ 1300 mV
All - Damn, I just saw that I had a bug in my Opteron 285 _PSS table. I had the max p-state set for only 2400MHz instead of 2600MHz. I'll have to fix this and update my old BIOS mods with that when I get a chance. @awett - I doubt my bug was was causing your lockup though. I'm a little confused by your post since it wasn't clear which DSDT you were running for the first dmesg output (stock DSDT, my initial DSDT mod, other generated one). Regardless, you're absolutely sure this is what you want right? It'll take me a few days to find the spare time to compute the values, so you get one shot. 2600 MHz @ 1350 mV 2400 MHz @ 1350 mV 2200 MHz @ 1350 mV 2000 MHz @ 1350 mV 1800 MHz @ 1300 mV 1000 MHz @ 1300 mV
i take a look at my win rmclock config the boot message i posted was copyed from a boot with the dsdt i attached to that post the dsdt is moded by my self in the past in attachmend is my rm clock and there is to say that my bios hardware monitor doesn 't allow the vcore to be chanced in greater values than from 1350-1300 mv without locking up the machine
here i get a look for my self modded dsdt in #656 forums .amd.com /forum/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=114658&enterthread=y
awett, Had some spare time, so here you go. Let me know how it goes. I fixed the original DSDT with the stock Opteron 285 _PSS objects and created a separate "Opteron 285 rmclock" version...I ended up using the voltages from your RMClock screen capture though. 2600 MHz @ 1350 mV 2400 MHz @ 1350 mV 2200 MHz @ 1350 mV 2000 MHz @ 1350 mV 1800 MHz @ 1325 mV 1000 MHz @ 1300 mV
