Make sure you don't disable the system >console driver though =) Well, this gets me a little further, I can now at least get through the loading of the kernel and the manual configuration, but I'm back to where I started. When I exit and save the visual configuration it goes to probing for devices on the ISA bus (I think, again it just flashes up there) and repeats the lockup problem. But both Michael Smith <msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au> and Stephen Hocking <sysseh@devetir.qld.gov.au> asked: >You don't say what video card; my guess is you have a Mach64 in there >somewhere. Which is correct, the motherboard manual says it's a Mach64-CT SVGA graphics controller. Is this the problem? Stephen Hocking <sysseh@devetir.qld.gov.au> also asked: >...do you have com3 and/or com4? No, just com1 and com2. TIA rus Russ Pagenkopf (russ@ism.net)
