It seems that a TGA2 is the kiss of death these days.  Does it boot 
if you take the TGA card out?

That is strange, I do not see that happen on a PC164sx equipped with an
S3 VGA.

I'm wondering if the new compiler in 5.x has any relation to this problem.

I have installed that same PC164sx with an 810 driven CDROM drive
without problems.

Hmm.... Both PC64 and AXPpci33 are EV4x machines..  Hmm.. all my test
boxes are >= EV5

Hmmm...

Will do.
