OK, the 440GX Boot CD gets me to the point of install, however now I run
into an interesting problem, I want to use the currently existing
partitioning structure on the disk, just reformat each partition, so I
use disk druid (which I detest - I prefer FDISK), and tell it to keep
the partitions, label them, and reformat them before installation. But
when the installation proceeds to copy the install image to the drive, I
constantly get the "Out of disk space" warning and the install crashes
miserably.

Any other ideas?

I found the problem here, it was the fact that the /boot partition was
only 23M and needed to be closer to 100M, once I corrected that, the
install image fit on the disk fine no problems. Now to my next road
block. The install went ok, and complated successfully, however when I
reboot, it hangs just after loading the scsi module and I cannot get
beyond that point. 

I thought about recreating the install disk to ensure it had the latest
kernel, as I am thinking the kernel currently installed doesn't have the
correct adaptec drivers.

Any thoughts?
