Hello,

I have a Pentium Pro 200 with 32 Meg Ram, an Adaptec 3249UW PCI SCSI card 
and a Micropolis 9G drive.  The only other adapter in the system is a video 
card.  The mother board has an onboard hard drive controller, floppy 
controller, serial ports, and parallel port.

When I try to install the system using boot.flp the system hangs after 
uncompressing the kernel.  The kernel appears to be uncompressed than it 
goes to 'booting the kernel'.  After that nothing, the system just hangs.

I have tried using the boot.flp from both the 2.1.7-RELEASE directory and 
the 2.2-GAMMA directory.  The same thing happens with both.  I have tried 
this with both the SCSI card installed and not installed.

Has anyone else had this sort of problem?  If so does anyone know what I 
can do to get past this?  Maybe someone can give me some ideas on how to 
determine what the problem could be?

Thanks for your help.

Allen
