With me it is still machine specific. I have installed on my laptop and
a socket 7. I moved that machine out and replaced it with a PIII 650
with the same monitor. That one gave me a new failure mode; chokes on
first reboot loading video, regardless of what video option I have selected.

I do a DFSEE erase HDD for ten seconds before trying to install.
