o.k., this is *very* odd.

I am using the 4.2 rrelease Cd to install onto a machine. This machine
installs 3.4 fine and is currently running it quite happily.

Under 3.3 I boot from two floppies, get the screen which allows me to
configure the kernel, then it boots into the nice blue screen from
sysinstall. All well and good.

Under 4.2 I boot from the two floppies and the screen to allow kernel
configs never appears - the system runs saright into the boot, starts up
sysinstall... and at this point appears to freeze. Or at least I can get no
response from the keyboard !

Anybody seen anything liek this, or have any suggestions as to how to get
round it ? I've taken as much of the hardware out as I feasibly can, and
an identical motherboard appears to work fine.. Hmmmm...

system is a K2/450, 64MB of RAM, Adapatec 2940UW SCSII card, G200 AGP card,

-pete.
