I am trying to upgrade a RH 7.3 machine to RH 9 and the machine keeps spontaneously rebooting when I boot from the boot disk.
The machine is an HP Vectra XU, dual Pentium 100, 32MB memory. It has the beloved CMD640 IDE controller, but the hard drive and CD-ROM are both SCSI - no IDE devices are installed. The machine has been running various flavors of RedHat for about 4 years now, is currently running 7.3 and is stable - no overclocking. Just to rule out a recent hardware failure, I ran Memtest86 overnight - no problems.
When booting from the RH boot disk, I capture the following from the serial console:

At which point the machine reboots. When the machine comes back up, many of the self tests fail (processor, cache memory, main memory, floppy and a couple others) and the machine is pretty unhappy. Resetting the machine or power cycling it fixes that problem.
From the point where it fails, I have suspected a problem with the IDE probing, so I tried booting with "mem=24M", "mem=32M", "apm=off", "nomce" and "noapic" without any luck.
"/sbin/lspci -v" produces the following:

Does anyone have any suggestions to help me?
Thanks,
