It does find the Hdd and CD-ROM ok, > but hangs after that. Remove any memory you have over 64MB, and you can install it fine. Then, once you get it installed, you must build yourself a custom kernel that has MAXMEM listed as the same number as what prints in the upper-left corner at bootup, or if you don't remember, multiple the amount of memory * 1024 and then subtract 1024. So, on my box, I have 128 * 1024 - 1024, or 127*1024 listed in my MAXMEM line. Build and install the new kernel, and before booting into it, install your memory and all will be well....
