SYMPTOMS

On a Compaq DeskPro XLs, at the first blue screen during a boot, the disk activity light stops working for the XL's internal SCSI disks. This problem does not occur with Windows NT 3.5.

CAUSE

The AMSINT.SYS (AMD PCI SCSI) driver causes this problem.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, replace the Windows NT 3.51 AMSINT.SYS driver with the Windows NT 3.5 AMSINT.SYS driver.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
