The 1st reboot occurs within the first few minutes after installation has started. You will see the following message on the screen: Restarting the computer This portion of Windows 2000 has completed successfully Your computer will restart in 15 seconds The 2nd reboot occurs about 10 minutes after the installation starts. You will see the following message on the screen: This portion of setup is completed successfully. If there is a floppy disk, remove it. Your computer will reboot in 14 seconds. In both cases, remove the Windows 2000 CD from the CD ROM drive before the system reboots. Tip #6. Avoid using IRQ 9 on NetServer LH 4 Issue: If you configure any adapter to use IRQ9 on a NetServer LH 4, Windows 2000 will not configure the adapter. The device manager will report an error code 12, meaning no resources available. Also, if the boot drive is on a SCSI adapter with IRQ9 the system will fail to boot with a STOP 7B(0xF401b848, 0xC0000034, 0x0, 0x0). Workaround: HP recommends that you use one of the following workarounds for this problem. 1. Do not use IRQ9. Hewlett-Packard is working on a final fix for this issue. 2. If you must use IRQ9 with an LH 4, change the BIOS "Routing Algorithm" setting from SMART to FIXED IRQ routing. The LH 4 BIOS SMART IRQ routing logic does not allow IRQ9 to be shared. The ACPI logic uses IRQ9. The following steps explain how to make this change. 1. Reboot system and press F2 during initial self-test. 2. Press right arrow to select "PCI Slot Devices". 3. Press Enter. 4. Press down arrow to select "PCI IRQ Locking".
