Hello,
We have are having a problem in one of our configs where the serial ports fail with an overrun error. The failure only occurs with Windows server 2003 standard edition, and can take anywhere from several minutes to several hour to manifest themselves. Windows XP and 2000 do not get the error. We've tried changing the FIFO settings, as well as lowering the baud rate, duty cycle, and timeout settings but the problem persists. We've also tried doing all the usual things such as updating all the drivers, etc. but have had no success. The CD-ROM drive is in DMA mode, and the graphics card has acceleration enabled. The MB is a Commell FS-97GME http://www.commell.com.tw/Product/SBC/FS-97C.HTM
with a core 2 duo T7400 and 1GB of ram. We have a VIA VT6421A chipset mini-PCI raid card running in RAID1 mode. We are using BIT version 5.3 (1026). There is no other hardware in the system. If we just run the serial port tests, they pass. A failure can be forced to happen sooner if we plug in a USB thumb drive or attemt to copy files from the passmark CD-ROM disc during testing. Is there something about Windows 2003 server that might be causing these types of errors? Or, perhaps there may be a workaround with BurninTest?
Thanks!
