Suggest searching the LINT file etc for | references. I think these AIC78xx chips are on PCI bus, not the EISA bus. I think by the time HP released the LX Pro series the EISA bus was for legacy usage only. I did open the fsck'n thing up and pull the one EISA card that was in there, an HP Remote Assistant card. It's gone and it made no difference. After removing conflicting devices at the start if install, it will hang the machine, blank the LCD panel and stay that way indefintely. I just downloaded the 3.4 RELEASE install disks to see if they make a difference. [Checks] Yes, they do. I can boot 3.4, but not 4.0. Unfortunately there's no mlx driver in 3.4, so it's kind of boot. I'd love to try to build a custom install kernel for 4.0 install -- but how? Is it documented *anywhere*?
