- I need some help. I'm trying to install the 2.1 beta, and having very
- little luck. I get through the actual install with no problem. I just
- can't start the system. Whenever I boot, everything proceeds as normal
- until PM starts. I get a blank screen with the "wait" cursor. The disk
- thrashes like mad for a few seconds, then everything stops. The cursor
- still tracks the mouse, but nothing else happenes. No disk activity. No
- response from the keyboard. All that works is the BRS. Do I have bad
- images? Flakey hardware? In case it helps, I'm running an IBM PS/2 mod 80
- with 12 MB, 2 70Meg ESDI drives, IBM SCSI adaptor with a Toshiba 3100 CD-ROM,
- IBM 3270 card, IBM Dual Async card, IBM Token ring card, and IBM 8514/A.
- I've pulled all the extraneous cards (T/R, 3270, SCSI) to no effect.
- Any ideas?
