I've two nearly identical Machines, both have the same problem. - But yesterday I decided to toggle a little with the BIOS setup. - Eh' voila, one of them now boots through !!! (The other one isn't yet tested!)
They both have a SOYO 486 Mainboard, both running with the 133 MHz AMD-CPU.
It seems to be a problem with RAMs. - I had a very fast timing entered originally, and now I made it more relaxed. - That's all. I hope I've not too high performance loss for now... :-(
... and I use Loadlin. :-)
