A little update on this:
I have upgraded my motherboard from Tyan S1854 (Award bios) to Tyan
S2510 (Ami. Megatrends bios). Same Promise TX2000, same disks. same
array. 5.4/6.0 install cds boot *fine*. So is bios change the
significant factor here?.
What I do notice is that the 5.4 (and 6.0) cd boot is quite slow
compared with (say) 4.10 - presumably the newer code is doing a whole
lot more probing(?)
regards

Hmm I see.. I know it works OK with 4.<mumble> as I have installed plenty
of systems like that. I will try some earlier 5.x releases (say, boot only
ISOs) and see how it goes.
- 5.1 works.
- 5.2 insta-reboot.
- 5.2.1 BTX halted
- 5.3 insta-reboot.
- 5.4 insta-reboot.
5.4 also spins in a loop forever printing register dumps, not sure if 5.2-5.3
do it as well.
