Good morning Hicookie:
It looks like the BIOS is chocking on ACPI service which I believe is the south bridge interface. You may want to disable all the hardware in the BIOS to reduce PCI conflicts and try turning PLUG and PLAY OS On or Off to see if ACPI gets assigned another IRQ or PCI buss #.
From what I see, all these AOPEN boards seem to be real crap.
EDIT: What south bridge is used?
SB is ICH7
Ich7r?
Well that's been around since the 945, so it should be supported. I would keep an eye on what resources the BIOS allocates to the ACPI controller, which apparently isn't returning back anything line vendor Id, etc fron the PCI init.
EDIT: It may give us more clues if you take a pic of this board posting when running another CPU to see the PCI assignments/IRQs and device init order.
no "r",support ide raid ,but no sata raid.;)Quote:

EDIT: Not familiar with that BIOS, but you should disable any power management functions
Appears to have been released today:

called to aopen, they have no merom sample, they couldn't write

i think..aopen will takes long time.

Must be Microcode.
Weird considering Fuggers laptop have no probs, as well as 945GM chipset based motherboard with the Merom.
And on top of that the MacMini....lol
gah, so many people with Conroe/Merom and yet still no overclocking :slapass:
yes I wrote that above.Quote:

I second : after Hicookie tried all the suggestions... must be microcode
okay i work at intel in the eval department and i got a email from aopen telling me to use the 104 bios that it will enable merom
http://download.aopen.com.tw/ and download the 104 bios that should do it for you
and yes i have run it already but i am unable to tell you what i have done
If that works, wcooper007, many people will be very happy =)

i think someone already asked this, but why does it say hyper threading enabled?
okay well about the fsb issues i have only had a merom in a laptop as of yet and i cant say that i have had any issues with the other one. now i know that i can run a conroe that is normally a 1066 at 1333 with stock cooling on a badx board you have to understand i dont have access to all the cool boards and cooling stuff that yawl use. I also dont have the ability to do all those mods that you all perform on your motherboards. I am going to assume that when i get the merom in a aopen board and i am going to see if i can unlock the fsb and see if it will boot with a 1066 fsb which it should i would emagine being all the merom is, is a conroe in a diffrent form and the fact that the woodcrest is nothing more than a merom with a 1333 fsb
Are there different versions of the 1.04?Quote:

so than yours worked with 103b with the merom if thats the case than i would stick with that if aopen is having the inability to work with a merom than i need to know becuase i will send a unit to them tomorrow i just have to talk with my laptop guys and see if thats cool to send them a sample so bare with me let me know whats going on i will try to help all of yawl out just let me know what you need and i can compunicate it to my people.
1.03b is buggy...
Speedstep could not deactivated...
1.03c and 1.04 works better vor me...;)
Any update on how newer merom ES' have been faring vs the FSB wall that many yonah/merom are plagued with?
I jumped onto Yonah and have been very pleased thus far, but I am not sure if I want to just update to Conroe entirely, or just hold off and pickup a Merom a few months after July. Maybe RD600 + Conroe .... dunno :o
well just to keep you up to date on what is going on i have just shipped a merom to aopen so they should be getting it within a few days up to a week being its got to go all the way to another country so as soon as they get it they will start on it thanks for the understanding guys
Any updates ?
