PREMMIA GX P/90 NO VIDEO AT BOOT


PROBLEM

When A Cornerstone Video controller is installed in a Premmia GX computer, 
there could be a delay of up to 30 seconds before video will be shown when 
booting the computer.


CAUSE

The video is not seen because the Cornerstone ImageAccel controller is doing 
self-diagnostic checks.  These are tests that can not be seen by the end-user.


SYSTEMS AFFECTED
AST PART NUMBER AND DESCRIPTION

501457-XXX      PREMMIA GX P/90


SOLUTION

The system is operating as designed.  Once the Cornerstone ImageAccel 
controller concludes the self-diagnostic checks, video will appear on the 
screen.
