Why do I get a post with "mmx cpu 98 MHz" with soyo 6bb with a slocket fcpga ?

[orbital]

Hi

I get this boot posting and freeze just after message. I have tried
with a PII 233, it runs fine. With this cpu I have tried in the bios
to set on first bios page: Halt on no errors. But that does not matter
for the fcpga adapter boot. I have used both a fcpga adapter working
on more modern slot1 boards and a powerleap PL-iP3 adapter with its
own voltage regulator. Still the same always.

Any ideas ?

Isn't it correct that many have run celeron 300A@450 on soyo 6bb. So
it can't be a total celeron neglection.

best regards

If it is a flip chip, many older BIOS do not grok the CPUIP string and give
up... your board understands old school Celeron's (Mendicino chips) and
P2/P3 old school, but Soyo never released a BIOS to support Coppermine.

Looks like you are unsupported with a flip-chip on this board. This would
include any FCPGA chip... Celeron or P///

The 6BB BIOS can't have Coppermine support added to it, the BIOS chip is
too small for the extra data needed.
