System board is Aopen AX-63.  BIOS is Award 60, flashed to most recent 
available version (1.31).  Processor is Intel Pentium III, 450 MHz.  
Sysetm memory is 512 Mb.  SCSI controller is Adaptec 2940AU (bougjht 
used, and therefore suspect).

There are four devices on the SCSI chain:  1.) an external Castlewood 
Orb drive.  2.) an internal Iomega Zip-100 drive.  3.) a Plextor 
PlexWriter 12/10/32S, 4.) a Plextor Ultraplex 40.  The Ultraplex is 
the last physical device on the internal chain; it is configured to 
be logical device 0.

The adaptec controller card recognizes all the devices on boot.  It is 
configured to boot from device 0.  The system reports that the 
Plextor drives are PNP and autoconfigured.

When I attempt to boot from CD, the system hangs just before the boot 
loader (LILO) screen appears.  A reset is necessary.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?  They !will!! be appreciated.
