Don't quote me on this reply because it's only a shot! You may want to try another hard drive. I've had problems in the past with Maxtor 8.6Gb hard drives conflicting with a Cyrix CPU and another hardware conflict with a Compaq motherboard that had a P166 on it.

Using the install from the Debian/SGI/O'Rielly dist the last line displayed: NCR53c406a: no available ports found Using a 2.1r4 dist from Cheapbytes freezes in a similar manner. I was also able to install Red Hat 6.1 and Slackware 7.0. Has anyone successfully installed debian on similar hardware? -- Jim Harritt Messaging Engineer HP-IT External Messaging Team Hewlett-Packard Co. https://ecardfile.com/id/jim_harritt -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com.
