1. Try to remove hardware components (I'd begin with some memory; My first
guess is that one of your memory modules is out of order). The when the kernel
first loads correctly, reattach all the other component (except for the last
component you have removed - this must be the offending hardware piece);
2. This seems like a new computer. Is Linux the only operating system on it?
If there are, do they work correctly?
3. Make yourself another install disk on another PC (using rawrite) and load
setup with the floppy. There might be a problem with the media you have.
4. Other problems may be specific to your hardware (from what you tell I can
say that Linux works with 3Com cards and Matrox has nothing to do with it at
this stage).
That's as far as I can help for now...
