2.24. The boot floppy starts but hangs at the ``Probing Devices...''
screen.
Here's another problem that led to the same symptom: I have a laptop
with dual IDE controllers, the second of which is for the
PCMCIA-attached CDROM. The CDROM wasn't inserted when I tried to
install, and it hung. Disabling the second IDE controller during
installation fixed the problem. (Inserting the CDROM might have
fixed it as well; don't know for sure.)
