[ixp1200] ENP-2505 fails to work with Dell Optiplex GX260 (oops ignore last)

[Gerry Murphy]

Hi Irvine,
I have seen interoperability problems between the ENP-2505/6 and some 
varieties of DELL systems. These problems seem to be related to
the Primary lockout bit on the 21555 non-transparent bridge.
One quick thing to try, If not already set to 1, change the bootmanager 
countdown to 1 and try again.  Otherwise often another type of backplane 
(even other DELL systems), and more up to date BIOS may fix your problem.

Hi,

I get an ixp1200 board from Radisys, ENP2505. But it can not work with my 
PC, a Dell Optiplex GX260. When it's plugged in, the machine fails to boot, 
but resets endlessly. The chips set of the mainboard is Intel845G. Does 
anyone have any idea?

Regards.

Irvin
