Post subject: Hang when entering Dual BIOS / QFLASH

Hello,
I just bought a Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro and received a revision 2.0
board. Upon installation, everything seemed to work fine, but I can
NOT get into the Dual BIOS utility or QFLASH.
I can press DEL key to enter BIOS, but when I press the F8 key and
then "Y" for Dual BIOS everything hangs. In my attempt to fix the
problem, I removed the CMOS battery, reloaded Fail-Safe settings, and
disabled CPU Hyperthreading.
I was able to install the latest BIOS FB *ONLY* by using the Award
FLASH872 program. Here are my specs:
Intel P4 2.4C Ghz, 800FSB, Hyperthreading
Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000 Pro, board revision 2.0 (*** NOT GA-8IPE1000
Pro2)
1GB Crucial Micron DDR400, 512MB in DDR1 and DDR3 (dual channel
enabled)
ATA133 Drives on Promise ULTRA133TX2, onboard SATA Disabled
ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon 7500 AGP4X
Nothing is overclocked. I would appreciate helpful suggestions.
Emailed Gigabyte support today too.

What BIOS did you flash? FB??
For the GA-8IPE1000 Pro, the only release to replace the original
production F6 is: F7d(Beta) 2003/7/31.
You may want to try flashing with that, otherwise I can't imagine any
user solution and perhaps you will just have to swap the board.

For GA-8IG1000 Pro (Rev 2.0), FB was the first release. There is a new
one dated in the future so you know it has to be good! Hopefully that
will be the fix. Good luck!
FC 2003/10/24 Fixed system hang when boot from backup BIOS after

An update to this issue, I have discovered that the Promise controller
prevents me from entering the Dual BIOS. When I disconnect the ATA
cable, the Promise BIOS does not load. Then I can enter the mainboard
BIOS, and also the Dual BIOS utility.
I hope an update to the mainboard BIOS will be released to address
this issue.
