Being the fidgety person that I am, I decided to start poking around the configuration of the machine that kept hanging up during the sysinstall probes. (By the way, I forgot to mention that it also has a 3COM 3c90x PCI Ethernet card) After booting into Compaq's wacky little Win 3.1 based system setup I looked at what IRQ assignments were being made. The auto configuration program from Compaq had assigned the xl0 interface to IRQ 3 for some reason. Just for grins I changed the IRQ assignment to IRQ 9 and retried the boot floppy. WHAM! I made it into the menu for sysinstall with no problem! Of course I had to set it back to IRQ 3 and see if the process would lock up again and yes, it most certainly did. Looks like the problem deals with having a NIC on IRQ 3. Scott A.
