Remember - this is Compaq hardware, and they have nothing even distantly resembling "normal" Award/Phoenix BIOS. Instead, you have to use that (EISA) System Configuration Utility from the System Partition or SmartStart CD-ROM. > 2) If there are settings related to the MPTable that say something like "full > table" or "shortened table" try using the "full table" option. Nothing like that was found. > 3) Enable USB in the BIOS if it is disabled. There no USB-related option at all. In fact, there are *NO* USB ports in this server (it is circa '98-99). Isn't it funny the kernel found some USB controller, is it? Believe it or not, but I was finally able to install 5.2.1 on this hardware. After you mentioned that USB might be causing this, I have compiled a custom kernel on another 5.x machine (which happened to be my laptop running a recent -CURRENT) and put it on the kernel floppy, replacing GENERIC in kernel.gz. Voila - it booted without a problem, and I was able to use sysinstall on regular console (as opposed to serial console I had to use to capture the previous boot log). What I still do not understand - why then it would boot the same GENERIC kernel without a problem when the system was already installed? What is the difference between the boot process for install CD/floppy and the installed system? Sergei
