Equipment Intel Atlantis Pentium 100 motherboard 32 meg RAM Buslogic 545c 3Com 3C509B ethernet card Mitsumi 4X cd-rom The problem: Using either the boot.flp or the atapi.flp disk the install will go through uncompressing the kernel, go to bold white with CPU:, start probing and gets to (I think, the bloody thing goes too fast to keep up) probing the ISA bus, resets and locks up (clears the screen and freezes, puts the monitor in energy-saving mode, only a power off/on or reset will bring it back). In desperation I've pulled the Buslogic Card, the 3Com, the CD-ROM, it's down to just the floppy and no joy, same thing everytime. Am I screwed? TIA rus ps. no conflicts that I can find, besides pulling stuff should eliminate that, and yes it all works fine in DOS :-( Russ Pagenkopf (russ@ism.net)
