I have HP-UX on it then installed debian. After I had the base installed I moved the machine and in a not so brilliant move added an external cdrom and changed keyboards and mouse. The system sat there and acted like it was having a very difficult time coming to terms with the changes. To fix it, swapped out the HIL mouse that I had switch to with a ps2 three button mouse and took the external cdrom off the scsi chain. I let it sit for about 20 minute to a half hour then it decided to boot. I also found that I could not use the on board video after I had used the addon card. I even disconnect the addon card, but it made no difference.
