SP2 and Shuttle, a problem?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.shuttle (More info?)

I have
Shuttle AN35(N) Ultra m-board
CPU Type: AMD Athlon XP-A, 2079 MHz (6.25 x 333) 2800+
511 MB RAM

I just got the mainboard a few weeks ago, and it works fine with pre-SP2
Win XP.

Naturally, when SP2 arrived, I tried to install. SP2 installed but then
killed XP. I can't boot and I'm getting error code
a stop code, 0x0000007B (4 parameters)
http://support.microsoft.com/defau [...] -us;324103
Even when I do a repair install, I get the above stop code.

So it could be a driver from shuttle.

Has anybody else had a similar problem? And do you think I'm on the
right track to get XP going again?

Also - I flashed my mobo with AN35S00L

Great!!! Your board came with L! nice!!!! It looks like your CPU is one
step above mine - don't know if you will need Q (didn't even know it was
out till you tld me!!!)

Flashing is simple - I use a Win98SE boot partition, but a Win98SE boot
floppy is just about as good.
For L it was : execute an35s00L.exe
OR execute AWDFLASH.exe and point it to an35S00L.rom

It runs for about 15-30 secs as I recall.
It wil tell you when it is done.

CAVEAT: There is always a risk in flashing that you will blow your bios
and have to replace it. (local shop, or, more likely, from
Shuttle)(meanwhile your computer will not boot.)(and you will have to flash
the new bios once you get it because it will probably be back level)

I have flashed the AN35N twice with no prob. I previously used an ECS
K7S5APro which had tailor made bioses and so bought a "bios savior" because
I was flashing it so often. (that bios savior does not fit on this board so
I trust to luck!)

I tend to take the gutsy approach in flashing and OCing, but a good amount
of common sense is also helpful. You probably do not need to flash to Q if
your system runs fine on SP1. but that's just my guess...

Best of luck!!! It's a GREAT mobo!!!

The problem is SP2. I have noticed lots of probs after/during
installation. The same thing happened with SP1 in the
beginning-crashes, BSODs, trashed operating systems, etc. unitl
MickeySoft goe their act together and used their customers as gunea
pigs. That's why I never rush to be the first kid on the block to
have the new SP - they will have lots of bugs for at least another 6
months.

Cari's comment is case in point. SP2 should work with everything.
There are plenty of other "won't work unless..." issues with SP2.
