Are there are any noteworthy BIOS or Windows 98 settings I need to be
aware of to get Win98 successfully installed on a QDI Advance 9 or 10
mobo? (VIA chipset). The reason I ask is that I am having a problem
with Win98's ISA Plug and Play mechanism. Win98 is unable to detect
any PnP ISA cards. Please note this occurs with the CMOS settings
cleared and a clean Win98 install, plus I'm just using a basic VGA
graphics card only, or occasionally this graphics card with a
Soundblaster AWE64 (PnP ISA).
For either hardware configuration mentioned above, inside Device
Manager there appears to be some kind of resource problem with this
System resource:
"IO read data port for ISA Plug and Play enumerator"
Looking at the configuration details, there's a conflict with both the
Secondary IDE Controller (dual fifo) and also with VIA Bus Master PCI
IDE Controller. I've tried changing the above-mentioned "ISA PnP
enumerator's" resources to fix the conflict, but my changes don't
appear to make an effect. Also, I don't seem to be able to adjust
either of the two conflicting Controller's IRQ values, although I'm
not too sure if that would help.
I went to the chipset maker (VIA) website and downloaded a "4-in-1"
chipset driver package and installed it, but unfortunately it didn't
fix the problem. The BIOS appears to be on its latest revision. I
also scoured the net's newsgroups and couldn't find any help that I
haven't already tried.
Thanks a lot if anyone can help, best regards, Robert.
