7.3.2 BIOS 

Messages 

Table 95. Memory BIOS Messages 

Message Displayed  

Description  

Gate20 Error  

The BIOS is unable to properly control the motherboard’s 
Gate A20 function, which controls access of memory 
over 1 MB. This may indicate a problem with the 
motherboard.  

Multi-Bit ECC Error  

This message will only occur on systems using ECC 
enabled memory modules. ECC memory has the ability 
to correct single-bit errors that may occur from faulty 
memory modules.  
A multiple bit corruption of memory has occurred, and the 
ECC memory algorithm cannot correct it. This may 
indicate a defective memory module.  

Parity Error  

Fatal Memory Parity Error. System halts after displaying 
this message.  

 

Table 96. Boot BIOS Messages 

Message Displayed  

Description  

Boot Failure ...  

This is a generic message indicating the BIOS could not 
boot from a particular device. This message is usually 
followed by other information concerning the device.  

Invalid Boot Diskette  

A diskette was found in the drive, but it is not configured 
as a bootable diskette.  

Drive Not Ready  

The BIOS was unable to access the drive because it 
indicated it was not ready for data transfer. This is often 
reported by drives when no media is present.  

A: Drive Error  

The BIOS attempted to configure the A: drive during 
POST, but was unable to properly configure the device. 
This may be due to a bad cable or faulty diskette drive.
