Steven et al,

Now that Wayne has described his boot hang, it appears to be
fundamentally different than the ones I experienced. He still has use of
his keyboard (ALT-CNTRL-DEL), whereas I did not. Therefore, he can do
essentially a warm reboot and CHKDISK should not be involved. I had to
the
cycle the system, using the ON/OFF switch at the power strip. That
resulted in a dirty CHKDISK flag in my case.

Nevertheless, I would try to eliminate all hardware items as the
culprit, first. Beg, borrow or steal (just kidding) the required adapter
cards to test out each component. Try running the system on the IDE card
with the SCSI card disconnected for awhile. Temporarily unseat any card
that is not essential. Probably the biggest problem will be testing out
the video card.
