I just installed 5.2.1 and upon boot, it hangs at:

Timecounter "TSC" frequency 2153331273 Hz quality 800
Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec

It also did this when trying to boot via the 5.2.1 install CD, which was
circumvented by booting via floppy... 

It does not do this with 4.9. 

any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron
