That depends.  On a lot of things.  

 Is there a way for me to see what's locking up the probing?

Looking at what's printed just before the lockup would help.
Posting it here might help even more.

OK. Is there a way to capture that, or Pencil and Paper (TM) will do the
trick?

Thanks,
Carlos.

You have to copy it off by hand, I'm afraid.

Machine locks in Probing devices... (4.9-RELEASE)

2003-10-31 Thread Carlos A. Carnero Delgado
Hello,

I'm installing 4.9-RELEASE into a (marginally) older Compaq computer
(Presario 7000 series, Pentium III 1GHz). Well, booting off the CD doesn't
work (a 4.8-RELEASE disc does); so I had to go with the floppy method.

Way after the MFS is loaded, this machine seems to lock up in the Probing
devices phase. How much time does that take?

Is there a way for me to see what's locking up the probing?

Best regards,
Carlos.
