IBM PC730/PC750 - IBM PCI Token Ring adapter hangs
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
IBM PC 700 Series systems 6875, 6885, 6876, and 6886 may exhibit an intermittent system hang condition after a warm boot with an IBM PCI Token Ring adapter installed.
Problem Isolation Aids:
A PC 700 system connected to a server via the IBM PCI Token Ring adapter does not exhibit an intermittent hang if the system is powered off/on as required instead of a warm boot sequence. System and adapter diagnostics run without failures.
Fix:
The system hang conditions occurs at a warm boot due to the adapter continuing to load data into memory while the system is loading its BIOS into memory. Install the latest BIOS update for the PC 700 system AND the "BUSMASTR.EXE" file which enables or disables PCI Busmastering for specific PCI slots installed in the system.
To obtain the latest Flash BIOS updates for the PC700, please Double Click on the appropriate Icon below:-

If the failure persists continue normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failing application or part.
