I can't seem to boot the install kernel with my system.  I'm running on an
Intel Atlantis motherboard.  It has an ATI Mach 64 onboard the motherboard.

The problem occurs during the device probing.  It gets about as far as
reporting the available memory, and then the video sync goes awry and not
much else happens.  I think I can hear the SCSI card being probed, but I can't
tell as there is no way to monitor what's going on.

The system is a Pentium 133 with 32MB, ATI Mach 64 onboard, Soundblaster 
Crystal also onboard (normal settings), and a Buslogic BT-946 PCI scsi card
on 0x334.  (I did boot kernel -c and set that, no help.)

Any ideas?  I'd really like to get this to work soon.
