I had a similar problem.  In my case it was a conflict with my NE2000
ethernet board.  It seems that one of the Warp device drivers is hardwired to
IO address 0x320.  My NIC was also using that address.  My quick solution was
to remove the NIC and run install.  (I couldn't change the IO address on the
NIC 'cause I couldn't find the documentation, and I was in a hurry.  I have
since fixed that.)

Hope this helps.
