System Configuration Error Messages
Message Displayed Description
DMA–2 Error Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error,
often indication a problem with system hardware.
DMA Controller Error POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a
fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware.
Checking NVRAM.
Update Failed
BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message
appears when the FLASH part is write–protected or if there is
no FLASH part (System uses a PROM or EPROM).
NVRAM Checksum
Bad, NVRAM Cleared
There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data.
This causes POST to clear the NVRAM data.
Resource Conflict More than one system device is trying to use the same
non–shareable resources (Memory or I/O).
NVRAM Ignored The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not
used for system configuration in POST.
NVRAM Bad The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not
used for system configuration in POST due to a data error.
Static Resource Conflict Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same resource
space (usually Memory or I/O).
PCI I/O conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when
configured by BIOS POST.
PCI ROM conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when
configured by BIOS POST.
PCI IRQ conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when
configured by BIOS POST.
PCI IRQ routing table
error
BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but
was unable to figure out how to route an IRQ to the device.
Usually this error is causing by an incomplete description of the
PCI Interrupt Routing of the system.
Timer Error BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but
was unable to figure out how to route an IRQ to the device.
Usually this error is causing by an incomplete description of the
PCI Interrupt Routing of the system.
Interrupt Controller–1
error
BIOS POST could not initialize the Master Interrupt Controller.
This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
Interrupt Controller–2
