Windows 98 on Trent systems with 7.00 and 7.01 BIOS

Issues have been seen on older Trent motherboard based systems with version 7.00 or 7.01 BIOS where after the installation of Windows 98, every time the system is re-booted, the following message is displayed….

POST Startup Error(s)

The following error(s) were detected when the system started:

162 Configuration Change Has Occurred

Select one of the following:

Continue.
Exit Setup

If the option is taken to continue, it can be seen that the system peripheral devices have been re-detected, and the date has been reset to 00:00:00 00/00/2000.

This has been identified as a problem with version 7.00 and 7.01 of the Trent BIOS, and is eliminated with later versions (7.02 or above).

If a system has this problem, it is recommended that the latest Trent system BIOS is installed. This is currently version 7.08, and can be downloaded from file area 43 of the Insight BBS (dial-up and Web) as TRENT708.EXE.
