| Adaptec SCSI Driver fails to start on Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103 with O2Micro OZ6933/711E1 CardBus Adapter | |
|---|---|
| Description: | The Adaptec ASPI8DOS.SYS driver fails start or hangs during initialization. |
| Explanation: | The PCI-2-PCI Bridge used in this
system (82801BAM I/O Controller Hub 2 Mobile (ICH2-M) Hub Interface to PCI
Bridge) apparently provides positive decoding of I/O cycles. Therefore,
the I/O address for APA-1480 card should be configured inside of I/O
filter of the bridge. Since bridge I/O filter is set to 0x4000-0x4FFF and
range 0x4000-0x40FF is in use by built-in Realtek Fast Ethernet Adapter,
you should configure the I/O address for APA-1480 card to e.g.
0x4100.

The only solution is to use our CB1480 enabler version 3.10 or later with build-in ASPI Manager instead of Adaptec ASPI8DOS.SYS driver. |
| Solution: | Set the I/O address for APA-1480 card to 0x4100:
Use CB1480 enabler version 3.10 or later with build-in ASPI Manager. Do not use Adaptec ASPI8DOS.SYS driver. |
