This is why no one ever got fired for buying an IBM as the old adage goes. My ancient Dell laptop had absolutely no install issues, so I bought a fresh disk for my shiny new compaq:
Behavior is identical off of 6.1-current cd or install to ad0 that was completed from cd safemode boot. She runs fine in safemode from acd0 or ad0. Regular startup - see vga0 go by sucessfully, then timcounter TSC... ....ticks at 1 milliseconds.... then locks up tight. I tried disabling the line after vga0 in boot/device.hints, but those of you who know what that is know, I'm sure, that that turns my system into a peperweight. I also tried boot with acpi disabled, but that seems to lock up identically on tsc. Wish I had more info, but that's all I can glean without more help. Had to put the origonal harddisk with winXP back in. No one wants that ;) Save me!
