Can't boot with a wireless NIC (MSI PC11B2)

Post by energy »

My PC doesn't boot (no message at all) when I put this card. I tried the 5 PCI slots, I tried to disable ACPI but it still doesn't boot !! :(
If somebody has an idea ....

Same problem here. I've just tried to install a ZyXEL G-300, and most of the time the machine wont even beep at startup. Sometimes it will boot, but when running lspci from linux, the card does not appear on the output.
I've tried moving slots, adding/removing other cards, removing overclocking, and a number of other bios fiddles (RU bios), but nothing so far.
Edit: The card works in another box.

Weird
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

Unfortunately, wireless is many years after the BP6 mainboard. Wireless NIC's may be looking for something specific in the BIOS. Who knows.
