After *many* trouble-free installations in the past I am now having trouble installing 2.1R on a pentium 75 Acer machine. The system boots with the boot.flp and goes through the normal messages until it has displayed the device probe messages for PCI bus devices and then just hangs. I have tried both atapi.flp and boot.flp with the same results. The machine configuration is as follows: Pentium 75 cpu 16 MB RAM ne2000 ethernet card (detected OK) sony ATAPI CDROM (detected OK with atapi.flp) quantum fireball 1222 MB IDE HDD any help is appreciated thanks Carey ========================================================================= Carey Nairn ! email : Carey.Nairn@its.utas.edu.au Networks and Communications ! phone : (002) 20 7419 Information Technology Services ! fax : (002) 20 7898 University of Tasmania. ! =========================================================================
