BIOS Checksum error; BootBlock jumps in
Sorry about that, I skipped the words "boot block"Rootje wrote:Already read it, nothing in there i haven't tried already...
The problem is usually solved by re-flashing from floppy, but when i do that AWDFLASH indicates there are Write-errors!
Looks like your chip is a goner if it can't be written to, you will have to try a hardware flasher.
EDIT: Have you cleared the CMOS via the jumper?
If you can't flash the chip I don't think hot swapping will help you.Rootje wrote:not yet, good idea gonna try that now
but it sounds more like i need another Abit board to hot-swap it...But i don't really wanna do that Unfortunately hardware flashers are pretty hard to find here...
Do you get the error after the computer POSTs?
Great! I wonder what went wrong.Rootje wrote:Problem Solved!!
I flashed in the ancient LP - bios from the Abit site, again it gave me write errors and even no video after bootup. But when i flashed in the original RU bios again it worked like a charm!
Then I tried to flash in the one done by Roby - guess what: no write errors and good boot. Altogether very strange.
Thnx Derek for your help!

Reflashing with RU revisions; each flash was essentially writing the same data to the chip. Reflashing with LP; more or less rewrote all the data to the chip. Maybe cleared the portions of the ROM that were causing problems.Derek wrote:Great! I wonder what went wrong.Rootje wrote:Problem Solved!!

That's what one would think, but it still gave him errors after flashing with LP, only this time it actually booted up.hyperspace wrote:Reflashing with RU revisions; each flash was essentially writing the same data to the chip.
