I've been directed to send this request here. I have an AMD Athlon based system that is locking upon bootup while trying to boot from either the distro CD (3.4-R and 4.0-RC3) or the floppy disks. The system will display this message: /boot.config: -P Keyboard: no BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 At this point the machine locks. The machine configuration is as follows: AMD Athlon 650MHz FIC SD-II mainboard - http://www.fic.com.tw/motherboards/sd11/sd11intro.htm Maxtor UDMA Mode 4 IDE disk on Primary IDE channel Generic IDE CD-ROM on secondary IDE channel Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Quantum Wide SCSI drive Yamaha CDR drive CDR102 SCSI drive 196,608KB PC-100 memory Diamond TNT2 Ultra AGP video (32mb) Soundblaster AWE64 Happauge!
