Can't install Severn on a Cyrix P166

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hi,

 I seem to be unable to install Severn on a Cyrix P166 with 80MB. Actually 
I think this problem exists since 8.0. For some reason booting from CD 
fails, the machine reboots as soon as it tries to boot from the CD. I am 
not seeing this problem with 7.3.

 Using noapic, noacpi and nodma doesn't seem to make a difference. When 
booting from a boot floppy I manage to get as far as the package selection, 
but after OK-ing my selection the installation exits abnormally. No 
specific error is given on any of the tty's. Same thing happens with a hd 
installation.

 Another issue that surprises me is the fact that Severn doesn't recognize 
my serial mouse. Also this problem doesn't exist with 7.3. Even after 
selecting the correct mouse and port Severn doesn't recognize the mouse. Is 
the probing for serial mice deleted from the installer?

Bye,
Leonard.
