Is there any way to test this?

1. SCSI harddisk plugged into the motherboard
2. Floppy drive plugged into the motherboard
3. CD-ROM and a never used Zip disk drive plugged into IDE2 on the
motherboard
4. Sound Blaster live sound code plugged into a PCI slot.
5. nVidia Corp NV15 GL (Quadro2) plugged into the AGP slot.

No USB ports are in use. The video output, mouse and keyboard are plugged
into a KVM switch. There is also a CAT-5 cable attached to the network
jack. Otherwise, there are no other external connections outside of the
power cable.

By running without the X11 server, I hoped to remove the nVidia board as a
source of trouble.
