Hi:

I recently upgraded my motherboard to a K7S5A by ECS running a AMD Duron 1ghz chip with 256 DDRAM. I formatted a hard drive and installed Windows XP in one partition and tried to install Slackware 8 in the other. It won't boot correctly from cd , it stalls at "raid0 linear personality registered". It boots from install floppy disks, but upon finishing the installation and restarting it stalls in the same line during boot.
I have also tried Caldera 3.51 being the second Linux distro Im more familiar with, but it stalls on boot at "searching for scsi devices ...wait"...

I tried turning off the board PnP but to no avail.
Anyone has any idea what is causing this and whats the workaround ???
