> You disable everything except the keyboard? That sounds like a > recipe for disaster. :-) Why? I do not need serial, parallel, IDE, floppy and drivers for all those ISA devices I do not have. > Try not disabling anything. If you believe that there are > device probes that get confused by your hardware, disable those. I tried booting with the default settings. I tried disabling the serial ports as written in the FAQ. I tried disabling devices I know I do not have. I tried disabling everything I know I do not need. I tried disabling random devices. This machine has only 4 EISA slots so I tried to set the ESIA probe range to 4. Finally I tried disabling everything I can (in visual mode) except the keyboard (and console and math coprocessor , of course) Any tips?
