163.0. "WNT support on dmcc?" by SAYER::ELMORE (Steve [email protected] 412-364-5893) Sat Feb 01 1997 19:52

    Customer is using an IBUS dmcc and is getting hung when trying to
    install WNT V4.0.  3.51 worked.
    
    133 ibus
    64mb mem
    ncr scsi -->cdrom
    ide 2GB hdd
    matrox graphics
    14-slot etmxe-bd
    
    
    steps:
    
    o start the wnt install from cd
    o after they have chosen fat/nt fs and the files are about 1/3
    loaded from cd they get the blue screen, memory management fault
    message, and a dump.
    
    I was left this description on voice mail.  I have no further
    information.  This is a loaner of some sort.   Has anyone experienced
    this?  
    
    Customers can get phone support for VxWorks with loaner products via
    the realtime expertise center in Atlanta.  Is there a similar program
    for loaners using WNT on our SBCs?
    
    Thanks,
    Steve

163.1	WNT 4.0 running fine here	PRSSOS::POTARD	Francois Potard, FAE OBS-France, 858 1326	`Mon Feb 03 1997 10:10`	23
	Bonjour, We have intalled last Friday "Windows NT 4.0 Server" without any problem on a similar configuration (DMCC ETM10). CPU 100 Mhz (I-bus SBC) 64 Mb Memory (2 x 32 Mb) 7-Slot Backplane (including NCR53C810 PCI-SCSI Ctrl) SCSI CD-ROM (RRD43-AA) SCSI Disk (RZ25L) ISA graphic Ctrl (GXE#9 3Mb VRAM) PCI Ethernet Ctrl (DE435-AA) On this system the customer (GE Medical Systems, Buc) has also installed succesfully SUNsoft SOLARIS X86 Version 2.6 Beta. PS : "Windows NT 4.0 Server" runs also fine on the Intel Rushmore product while we have problem to install SUNsoft SOLARIS X86 V2.6 Beta on the same configuration. Regards /Francois

163.3	Perhaps behind a bridge device bug?	MQOOA::LEDOUX	Vincent [email protected]	`Mon Feb 10 1997 16:48`	26
	I also have I-bus 133 Mhz (BIOS OPTI50i / 06-17-96) and I installed NT 4.0 workstation without problem from a win95 installed in an IDE drive. The NT was installed on a SCSI disk. It did the multi-boot menu to select which OS to boot as expected. On power up, the screen shows Rev: 2.64 V093BSDQ (Whatever that is) My config is: 7 slot backplane (NCR810 on board) Ibus- 133 Mz 64 Meg parity RAM Stealth Diamond PCI graphics (1 meg) AMD based network card (Ethernet) AKA PCnet PCI II ISA sound blaster 16 one IDE ~500 Meg drive one RZ26 one RRD45 one Floppy based tape backup (Aspen? QIC 80) (No NT support) Worked fine! Perhaps some device do not like to be behind a bridge? Vince.
