Abit KT7-RAID Mobo upgrade issues...

[rpmc]

I have recently started to upgrade my system to a:
Athlon Thunderbird Socket-A CPU 950 Mhz and
Abit KT7-RAID Socket-A Mobo.
My existing components are:
RAM 320 MB SDRAM-100 (PNY mfg.)
HD 1 x Western Digital 10 GB 5400 rpm (Master IDE 1)
HD 1 x Western Digital 20 GB 7200 rpm (Slave IDE 1)
CD Memorex 48x CD (Master IDE 2)
Burner Memorex 4x4x8x CD Burner (Slave IDE 2)
Video Voodoo 3dfx 3000 (AGP1 slot)
Ethernet Kingston Etherlink Card (DSL line; PCI slot 2)
Sound Soundblaster Live! (PCI slot 3)
Modem Zoom Fax/Modem Kflex56k (ISA1 slot)
Power Enlight Corp. Power Supply 250 W.
OS Windows 98 v. 4.10

Upon windows boot up the following occurs:
New hardware located, Creative SB16 Emulation, Windows is installing
software for your new hardware. Then I get the dreaded blue window reading

"A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C2A20510. The current application
will be terminated."

Pressing Ctl + Alt + Delete gives this detail,
"An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C2A20510 in VXD---. This was called
from 0028:C009B3D0 in VXD VKD(01) + 000001D0."

I can have access to the rest of the system in Safe mode. All my current
components work fine with my old Mobo, EPoX EP-MVP3G-M and a AMD K6-2 450Mhz.
I have tried moving my Soundblaster card from PCI slot 5 to 4 to 3 and still
get the same fault.

I would appreciate any assistance with this issue.

I figured I should post my email reply too.

Windows does not like new &quot;system devices&quot; (your motherboard's chipsets, bios, etc.).

You'll have to set up a clean &quot;hardware profile&quot; and delete the old one. You'll also probably need to edit the &quot;Local_Machine&quot; key in the registry to clear out any remnants of old &quot;system devices&quot;.

As always, best and recommended way is to do a clean install.

SB16 emulation... meaning legacy support?

you might try disabling that feature...
