>Description:
I'm trying to install from SCSI CDROM. Host controller
is the Adaptec 2940UW - SCSI BIOS rev is 1.22S.

I've tried three different release CD's, 2.2.7,
3.1, and 3.4, and they all have the same behavior:
they freeze during boot, before even any diagnostics
are printed (i.e. freezes during "spinning wheel").

I've read about the install problems with newer 2940
BIOS revs, but haven't heard a solution.

My system is a Dell XPS Pro200n, PPro 200MHz, 64MB
EDO DRAM. CDROM is a Plextor 8X.

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot system with disk1 of 2.2.7, 3.2, or 3.4 RELEASE
bootable CD.
