  What sort of HD? Is it UDMA? I had the same problem with a Seagate 6.5G
UDMA HD. It would get part of the way into the install, then signal 11. I
got another 1.2Gb EIDE drive, it installed without a hitch, the only problem
being that I couldn't get LILO onto the MBR of the UDMA drive without
corrupting the partition table so am booting from a floppy :(
