We have a user who is trying to install SCO ODT 1.0 on a Dell System 325D. The kernel gets as fas as saying 'G12', then reboots. I'm given to understand that phase 'G' is concerned with setting up interrupt handlers and hence this is interrupt 12. The newer Dell Systems have a PS/2-style mouse (part of the keyboard controller), which uses interrupt 12. Is it possible that ODT is detecting this and erroneously assuming that it is on a PS/2 ??? Is there a fix/should they get ODT 1.1 ? Tim -- Tim Wright, Dell Computer Corp., Bracknell | Domain: tim@dell.co.uk Berkshire, UK, RG12 1RW.
