Tektronix TDS5054 motherboard upgrade problems

[andy2000]

I'm attempting to upgrade the ATX motherboard in an old TDS5054.  The original is an Intel 810E based socket 370 board.  So far, all attempts to use anything newer than a PIII generation board results in errors on POST and an ACPI related BSOD.  Even attempting a clean Windows installation results in an error about the system not being fully ACPI compliant.  Disabling ACPI allows installation, but that's not a usable solution.

I've tried a number of motherboards including Core 2 duo, Athlon XP, and several P4 boards.  I've even tried an i845 based board borrowed from a newer revision TDS5104 (not the B version).  This board results in the error "PCI IRQ routing table error [02:0f:00]". 

I suspect Tektronix did something sloppy when designing the PCI acquisition interface board which conflicts with something in later ACPI versions.  The newer scope has a different PCI acquisition interface board. 

The best I've been able to make work is an i815 board, which at least supports Tualatin PIII CPUs.

Before I call it a day, does anyone have any ideas?

Did you ever figure this out?

I installed a intel i3 motherboard. (Intel DQ77MK Motherboard). It took 6 months on and off. It works no errors. I end up cutting the care to fit the connectors but it works. There is another thread here which I follow.

I suggest you install drivers first on the mother board and then attach the tetronix board.

Cool! Sorry to necropost, but I just started another thread on this topic. Feel free to chime in. Hopefully, we'll have a wiki on this scope.
