Hi,
Perform fault isolation as follows: Remove all cards except the video.
Switch to a faster RAM, use a single SIMM 16 or 32 Mb RAM that you know
works in a linux machine. Then try to boot. If you can boot, switch back
to your 256MB RAM and try to boot again, if it works, put in the cards
one-by-one and reboot after each card until you find the problem. Try
switching the positions of the cards. IMHO the most likely sources of the
problem are:
1. RAM speed too slow or defective RAM. Remember that just because a
particular hardware setup works with NT doesn't mean it will work with a
real OS.
2. Card not seated properly due to defective slot or mechanical
incompatibility (contacts are shorting out)
3. Defective card
