STOP 0x0000005c on IBM PC Server 320
This article was previously published under Q138703
When you attempt to install Windows NT 3.51 on an IBM PC Server 320
Server (multi-processor capable) with a single processor, the following
STOP message appears:
STOP: 0x0000005c
HAL NO RTC DEVICE INTERRUPT
This problem occurs when the Windows NT Setup calls the computer BIOS to
obtain computer configuration information. On several computers, the BIOS
returns invalid information for the number of processors installed on the
computer. Therefore the multi-processor Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
is
installed instead of required uni-processor HAL.
To correct this problem, do one of the following:
- Download the latest PC Server 320 BIOS or BIOS version M54PE_09N from
the IBM PC Company BBS. The phone number is (919)517-0001. The file
name is 320BIOSE.EXE (for EISA 320 Servers) and 320BIOSM.EXE (for MCA 320
Servers).
-or- - See "Q136781: STOP 0x0000005c on Multi-Processor Computer During Setup"
in the Microsoft Knowledgebase for the manual workarounds.
-or- - Boot your computer with Windows NT 3.51 Setup Disk 1. During bootup,
press F5 to manually choose the computer type. Use Standard PC with
C-Step i486.
For more information, contact IBM PC Company Technical Support at

Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this
product's performance or reliability.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
