@p2: I know the feeling :-)
These older Compaqs are known for their quircky bioses. In several cases I
found that others could get past this problem by changing settings of memory
caching or shadowing. I did not find those settings in my bios setup program
(this goes by booting from floppy, it's an eisa-slot box. takes hours to try
several settings and reboot. and reboot. and reboot.)
See what you can do with those options (if any) in your bios?
cheers
