TI 9 Boot CD hangs on startup

I have downloaded the latest version of True Image 9 (2337) to test before I buy it. My new PC is a Siemens Futjitsu with an ASUS P5SD1-FM2 Motherboard. The HD is a SATA Maxtor 7L300SO with 300GB. Operating System is WIN XP SP2.

Here is my issue: I have been able to create images of the HD perfectly. But I have been unable to get the Acronis Boot CD to boot in the "Full Version Mode". It does boot to the first welcome screen. If I choose then TI "Full Version" (with drivers for USB and SCSI..), it hangs at the following "Loading..." screen.
The F11-Startup with "apci = off noapic" does not help. The system still hangs with the error Message (last view lines):

...
scsi0 = sata_sis
scsi1 = sata_sis
Vendor: ATA Model; MAxtor 7L300S0 Rev: Banc
Type: Direct-Access
Attached scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
SCSI device sda 586114704 512-byte hdwr sectors (30091 MB)
Partion check:
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0: p1
$ / bin/insmod ide-detect
Using /lib/modules/ide-detect.o

-> and then the system hangs with a blinking cursor


The TI "Safe Version" mode is working. But this is of course not a solution, because I need also USB support (for external HD).

Please help because I love this product and would like to use all features.


Thanks a lot - with best greetings.

Stefan

 

I have same initial hang on a P5S800 motherboard. Safe mode works OK and I don't need USB so that's fine for me. My drives are all PATA.

Must be something in the SIS chipsets perhaps.

 

same problem also for me!!

 

Do you have a SIS chipset in your machine or just the same problem?

Thanks

Hello Tatyana,

ide-detect=off works!

Thank you very much.

Stefan

 

I've tried all of the ide-detect=off and the removal of quiet.
I get the same result.
A flash of the blue Acronis screen than a black screen. No messages nothing...

Is there a list of all these F11 commands?

I have ti8 lastest build as of August 2005.
