Regression of PCem 12 - 430vx does not boot

Post by Jeditobe »

Regression of PCem 12 - 430vx does not boot. Only two beeps and black screen.

On PCem 11 430vx boots ok with the same bios file.

Do you have any idea what revision of PCem v12 you are using? The Award 430VX does work on the original release of PCem v12.

Since I don't have the later revision, I can't reproduce this issue.

I can assure you, stock PCem 12 does boot 430vx.
Hmm, are you using the same video card as PCem11?

I had similar issues the other day.

First I deleted the flash.bin file, but this did not work. Then I removed all HDDs, removed sound card, Voodoo, and I used a very basic VGA card and tried to select sensible defaults wherever possible.
After this I readded everything and it works flawlessly. I seemed to start working when I removed the SB16, but I am not 100% percent sure, and it works now with SB16.

model = 39
gfxcard = 17
As PCem switched to strings it doesn't parse these numbers anymore.
Change the 39 to 430vx

But model numbers did get shifted in v12 because some models were added and some removed/commented out, so the Award 430VX PCI's number is most probably not 39 anymore.

Indeed. This is what Jeditobe's config specifies under v12 :

Notice the lack of a CPU...
