[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Phoenix ROM BIOS and GENOA Super Hi-res EGA

iglesias@orion.cf.uci.edu (Mike Iglesias) (01/17/89)

I have a Packard Bell AT clone w/Phoenix ROM BIOS v3.07 and a GENOA
Super Hi-res EGA board.  When the system is powered on, it give
one long and two short beeps before it prints the GENOA EGA bios
message (v4.11) and the Phoenix ROM BIOS message.  If I set the
card into CGA mode (or a program does) and the system is rebooted
via CTRL-ALT-DEL, there are no beeps and the system boots normally.
Is it possible that the ROM BIOS needs to be upgraded (I've seen
v3.10 on some other AT clones) to understand the Hi-res EGA card?


Thanks,
