Resource conflict: PXI 1000B with NI PXI 8106 & NI 8420/2

[Steviooo]

Dear readers,

What:

I am using an embedded controller (PXI 8160) with a rs232-card (NI 8420/2) in a PXI-rack (PXI-1000B).

Problem:

At startup of the rack, i get the message: Resource conflict, PCI in slot 2    /     Bus: 0B , Dev: 0F, Function: 00. F1     / Press F1 to resume or Del to enter Setup.

If i continue after the conflict, i can see the 2 com-ports properly installled in my hardware manager .

After startup, when i look in the systemtab of eventviewer, i find an error. This one is also there when the 8420 is not plugged in.

"Boot-start or system-start drivers failed to load: nvatabus / nvraid" + "Source: service control manager". (see attachement)

What did i try:

If i remove the NI 8420 card, there is no problem.  If i keep the 8420 in the rack but in another slot, the problem stays but at a different slot.

Maybe there is something wrong in the bios settings, though i almost tried every setting including reset/ disable comport of the 8106/ ... .

Swapping the card did not work too.

I tried this 8420 in another rack (without an embedded controller) but there were no conflicts.

Formatting the embedded controller (windows xp and drivers)

I hope somebody can tell me more about this. Thanks in advance.

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the detailed post!

Im am out of the office at the moment, but I will endeavor to look into this tomorrow (16th Oct), if no one else gets in touch with you first.

Kind Regards,

Thanks, it would be nice.

Meanwhile i started a post at the correct place in this forum (board PXI). I did not find how to move my post. So please continue there. (same Message Subject)

I did also a loopback test on all the com ports ( one from embedded controller and two from the NI 8420). Everything looks fine.
