Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>mainboard>aopen (more info?)
I recently got a DX6G+ off ebay...the board looks brand new. I have
two PIII 800Mhz cpu's in there. The BIOS has been flashed to
version 31 R1.08 (May 30, 2000 - the latest on Aopen's site).

When I boot, it sees the procs as 800Mhz, but I get
CPU Bios Update Code Mismatch
Equipment Mismatch Error

If I press F1, I get it to start up...it's annoying. Smile (is there a
way to disable this stop and is there a problem with running like
this? - perhaps the microcode is perfect on the CPU and doesn't need
updating Smile

The CPU is a 100Mhz bus CPU, which is what this board supports.

Does anyone know how to get this board to recognize the CPU properly?
Both of the CPU's are known to be working came out of a working Dell
dual-proc machine.

I've never used that particular board, but some of the Pentium boards have
an option in the BIOS to disable the CPU ID function. You might want to
check for that.

The only option close to that is disabling the market-flop Processor
Serial Number feature. nothing for the CPUID though Sad<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It is working now. I had pulled down some microcode bios update tool
from an ACER website (found by searching on my error message) and it
gave a lot more diagnostics than the checkup6 program. It let me
verify that the database file I had contained a microcode update for
my processor. I then ran the checkup6 program with that datafile and
it works now. I guess yesterday (it was late) I just ran checkup6
without telling it what datafile to use and assumed that it
automatically used the one that came with it.

It's not good to troubleshoot at 1am, especially when dealing with
such low levl parts of the machine Smile Now...if I can just figure out
how I converted things to sanskrit... Smile
