Hello all,

I tried to install Solaris 7 on a PC that has
an AMD-K6 processor in it, but the installation
is coming to a halt when it gets to the screen that=20
displays the message "Determining bus types and=20
gathering hardware configuration data..."

I've installed this Solaris 7 more than once or
twice on PCs that have Intel processors without
any problem.  So, my initial guess is that I can't
get beyond the "Bus Enumeration" screen because=20
of the AMD processor.   Can anyone corroborate this
guess?

Thanks to everyone who takes the time to
respond to my question.  I hope you're having
a great day.
