Problem with L2-cache on PA-2013

[oscar2]

Hi,
recently I bought a new system containing a PA-2013 (2MB cache, Award BIOS v1.15JI31, PCB 2.0). My other system components are: K6-2/350, Matrox Mil G200 (8MB SDRAM), SB 64V PCI, AHA-1542CF). Running Windows NT 4.0 my system does not start at all (during startup I either get an "Blue Screen" or the error Message "checksum error"). Trying DOS I sometimes get an EMM-error #5. All problems are gone if I disable the L2-cache in the BIOS-setup. Because this is just an temporary solution for me (I don't buy a mainboard with an extra large L2-cache just to disable this cache), I'm asking for suggestions how to fix the problem (I already checked all jumper and BIOS-setting - acording to the manual Rev:B1 they are o.k.).

Thanks in advance

oscar,
I too have a similar problem with W98. I have the FIC VA-503+, ver 1.1B. I loaded W98 (clean disk, full install) and the thing just sat there. I disabled the L2 cache and the system continued to boot. Once the system had configured everything, I turned the L2 on again. This time it booted up fine. I continued installing some software (Office 97) and re-booted, but it would not boot at all with the L2 turned ON. If you figure it out, please let me know, and vice versa.
