SYMPTOMS
After you restart your AST Manhattan 6200 computer after applying Service Pack 4 (SP4), the computer will stop with an error code of 0x0000007B.



CAUSE
The HAL used on AST Manhattan computers (Halapic.dll or Hal.mps) uses information provided by the BIOS to determine system configuration. Windows NT, prior to SP4, does not query the BIOS information for slot 0 on PCI buses. This change uncovered an issue with the AMI BIOS version that is unique to the AST Manhattan 6200 systems.



STATUS
AST is aware of this problem. For more information, contact AST Technical Support at (800) 727-1278 or visit AST's Web site.
