Tyan S2895 / K8WE BIOS 1.04 "out of space for Option ROMs!"

I have a Tyan Thunder K8WE / S2895 and just upgraded the BIOS to
the lastest version 1.04

Now the BIOS hangs up during booting, and it says:

"out of space for Option ROMs!"

what does this mean?


I disabled a couple of on-board devices (e.g. SCSI) and it still gives
this error message..

any ideas, tips?

thanks!

hi ,

didn't you reset the bios to default values ?

Hallo Wolfgang,

yes, I did - that's what caused this problem to re-appear.
I had it fixed in my old BIOS 1.03 setup, but that was earsed
when I upgraded the BIOS to 1.04 - so it re-appeared.

I talked to Tyan today, and they suggested to:

- switch off the Option ROM error reporting
- disable any unused on-board devices such
as MAC OPSCAN, SCSI, etc..

For LINUX they also suggest to:

- switch OS type to LINUX on the main BIOS page
- set MTRR to discrete
- enable the IOMMU
- set the memory hole to hardware

Looks like this solved the problem!
