1)Start the Install Process from my CD-ROM.
2)Start kernel configuration in full screen Visual mode.
3)I get 7 Hardware Conflicts. This is what I see after expanding all nodes:

5) I hit Q and then the probe starts. I see messages scrolling by and then I
see I big blue screen (of death!) and it says:
"Probing Devices.... (This may take a while)"
and the process comes to a grinding halt. I waited several times for more than 30 minutes
and then I had to do a hard boot.
I actually tried several possible ways to resolve the hardware conflicts with no luck.
I always got the blue screen.
