Hi Civileme,
Many thanks for your suggestions re my problem.
I have removed my SB card from its PCI slot, started up again but no change
still the same old problem.
I also removed the Winmodem PCI card as well but also no change. All the
PCI slots are now vacant leaving only the Video card in the AGP slot.
So now onto your next suggestion. Will take me a while to carefully work
my way through the Kernel update. Had a play with the ICeWM and really
the same problem happens here too.
A bit more info for you, I have win98 on hda (4Gb) and MD7.2 on hdb (2Gb)
a little easier for me to partition this way. I also installed MD2 directly
from the
CDs using a boot-up floppy. In the BIOS I have PNP OS Installed = NO.
I have MD8 available on two CDs, should I attempt this install, or should I
resolve my problem first ???
Many thanks for your interest in my problem.
