My 133 is the same (S1834D - printing on the board for an ISA but no 
actual slot). What revision is your board?

After reading of your experiences, the following scenarios suggest 
themselves:

- Booting from cd with the Promise TX2000 Raid card removed
- Booting from cd with 1 cpu removed (with or without the TX2000)
- (Assuming some of the above work) Moving the TX2000 to a different PCI 
slot and booting

I will let you know how I get on.

In the meantime, here is a dmesg output from when 4.10 was installed:

and output from mptable :

(Thanks to Gregor Bittel for maintaining such an handy list!)
