AST BRAVO 386/486 SYSTEMS AND BOOT FAILURES
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PROBLEM: When a BRAVO 386 or 486 system is booted up an error message
|
|||
|
|
"Auto sense parameters too large" is displayed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
AFFECTED
|
|||
|
|
SYSTEMS: AST BRAVO 3/25s and 4/33 systems model 83B, Part Numbers
|
|||
|
|
500859-005 and 500882-009.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
CAUSE: The problem has been attributed to the Quantum 80 MB hard
|
|||
|
|
drive Model LPS85AT.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If the System BIOS is set to Auto and the system has 2MB of
|
|||
|
|
RAM then the drive does not initialize fast enough. This
|
|||
|
|
problem does not occur with 4MB of RAM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SOLUTION: Set the System BIOS to Drive Type 16 and the error will not
|
|||
|
|
occur.
