Thanks for the snappy reply. I tried scroll-lock earlier, doesn't have any effect. The last line on the screen (the one I presume it is hanging on) doing a verbose boot is: > isa_probe_children: probing PnP devices There are no ISA cards installed. The rest of the messages that are visible look OK. When given the opportunity to configure the kernel (before it tries probing hardware and hangs) I remove all of the unused kernel drivers, with the exception of the "pc card controller", which I tried both leaving and removing. (I assume that refers to what we used to call the "PCMCIA controller") I have the parallel port disabled in the BIOS (no need for it), I wonder if that throws the install for a loop? Any further insight appreciated. Phil On 21 Nov 2001, at 10:35, Joe & Fhe Barbish boldly uttered: > Phil you need to post more info about the error.
