I have been running 3.3 Rel on a box with a P200MMX chip and had no problems. When I attempted a clean install via CD of 4.0 Rel I am not able to get past the initial hardware config screen. As soon as it starts scanning the hardware it freezes after the line containing "pci0: <Matrox MGA...> 18.0 irq 10" So far I have swapped the PCI Matrox for a cheap 16 bit VGA card (then stops at "chip1: <Intel 82371AB Power mgmt cont...> port 0x5000-0x500f at device 7.3 on pci0"), tried different RAM and even swapped the MB and CPU for a 233MMX combo with the same results. Re-installing 3.3 goes without a hitch and the 4.0 CD installs with no problem on my PII 400 so it's not a problem with the media. I'm baffled :-) Does 4.0 not like the old MMX chips or am I missing something. As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.
