Help!

I have a PCI/I-486SP3 motherboard with on-board SCSI controller
(NCR53C810). I also have a PCI Diamond Stealth video card, an IDE PAS 16
sound card, and IDE card for my greyscale hand-held scanner.

Quite simply Linux will not boot!

I insert the n_53c7xx.s boot disk, start the computer, get to the boot
prompt, and hit return. I get the following:

Loading Ramdisk..........
Loading Linux...

And then all hell breaks loose! An error message is displayed (something
about PCI) which is lost in a torrent of numbers which spray down the
screen, like this:

[0e434534] [3453caa] [2459b44]....

These just keep going and going.

Whats happening?
