FC2 hangs on install; need hardware help

Firstly, this is _not_ a problem with FC2, as far as I can tell. What I'm asking for is input as to what hardware problem might be causing the failure and/or how to diagnose it.

I'm attempting to resurrect an old system. Configuration is a Pentium Pro based MB with 128K memory. There are two hard disks and a CD reader, all SCSI. The SCSI adapter is a BusLogic FlashPoint LW.
There are two SCSI buses, both terminated. The card is recognized and its BIOS installed.


What I see when attempting to install FC2 (and FC1, RH9, RH8) is that the boot screen comes up per usual, and the kernel and initrd files load. Then nothing; system hangs.

One further data point. When I boot from a floppy (7.2, if that matters) the kernel loads and goes into execution. It panics because its configured for another adapter, which has an old bus that's not supported by the current MB.

All of these pieces have flown together at one point.

Any ideas on how I can diagnose this?
