T= he problem is that apon bootup, it will hang at "waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle" This will happen with a boot floppy or with the OS installed (if I try eno= ugh it will work) and it mostly happens when I have increased the memory from 1= 28 Megs to 384Megs (3X128 Dimms)=20 Funny thing is it seems that if I want to install I can usually get it to work with only 128Megs of memory, and after I rebuild a kernel with MAXMEM = 384 Megs it will boot 60% of the time with the full amt of memory. The light on the SCSI card will go full bright after the 15 second countdow= n and sit there forever. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated. SYSTEM: From memory..
