Try unplugging the IDE disks see what it does. Some K6 BIOSes will choke
with large hard disks (>32G), and sometimes it matters whether there is
a partition table present or not .
OK the disk is a 40Gb, the partition table is from an earlier wiped
Redhat 7.2 install and the machine was booting from W98 (game machine
for the kids)
You hang sounds a bit early for that however
Yes it is - with HD unplugged even the boot floppy is not seen... Sounds
like I need to try some guru magic with the MB... Like trashing it and
getting a new MB.
Thanks
