Hi, Doug -- I apparently have resolved the issue. My Mitsumi ATAPI CDROM
does not like fast chip speeds or is dying (?). I have it set up as
primary on the second IDE controller with the WD HDD on the first, and I
was able to successfully install when I reduced the processor speed to
75MHz again, so it appears to be a motherboard / chipset speed-related
error. I could only load the INSTALL kernel from Dos. I think it is
actually the CD drive itself, because I am now having problems (at 75)
reading from CD's from Micros**t 'Doze. I have a SCSI CD and Ultra 1GB
HDD to add to the system, bet they'll help when I go 2.2.5 :)

This is my home box; most of my work stuff is all SCSI CD's.

Has anybody else seen speed-related ATAPI problems?
