6.5 and Intel 875 ICH5R


Grado

Recommended Posts

Guys,

 

 

 

I've been running 6.0 on an Asus P4T533c i850E for about 6 months without any issues. I've recently built a new machine and bought the 6.5 upgrade.

 

The new board is an Abit IC7G, i875 with ICH5R southbridge. Win XP Pro, SP1. Anyway, trying to detect my backup devices connected and 6.5 quits to the desktop. Repeatable.

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Mayoff,

 

Thanks for the reply ........ but the logs are silent! Have your labs tested any i875 mobo's? I have just done some quick folder duplications (3GB) that worked fine, both to and from the ICH5R RAID drives. What next?

 

thanks,

Mayoff,

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, I've tracked it down to an issue with the ICH5R when running 2 Western Digital Raptors in SATA RAID 0 ..... the Intel Application Accelerator RAID edition V3. If I disable the RAID option the BIOS, by default the IAA won't load. 6.5 then works ok with no quitting to the desktop. There is also an on-board Silicon Image SATA RAID which is fine.

 

 

 

So what am I suposed to do now? I can't use this piece of software for doing backups ...... The ICH5R was the reason to build this system and so somewhat defeats the object!

 

 

 

The Intel i875 is the new, high end desktop solution supporting HT, 800MHz FSB, Dual channel DDR 400 etc. Yoy will need to fix this for sure.

 

 

 

I would like to be able to use this asap.

 

 

 

thanks,
