- I had no problems installing 7.1 on my SE/30. Whenever I use any kind of installer
- program, I always boot with the CAPS key down to disable extension loading. Did you
- run the new Compatibility Checker and follow its advice about removing system type
- files it didn't like (although it says to remove a lot of stuff that really is compatible)?
-
- You might have a hardware problem. Bad disk, SCSIitis, etc.
-
- If you have a decent backup, why not reformat your system disk and try to install
- clean? If that still doesn't work, and you're still confident of the quality of your
- install disks, you'll need to check the hardware.
-
- Not much help here. Good luck.
