intall hangs centos 2.1



Hello,
Have just installed centos 2.1 (which is a clone of RH 2.1 AS BTW) on a
hpdx2000 MT ie intel 2.8GHz, full install KDE and Gnome.
Sadly it boots up a bit and then hangs:
INIT :Switching to runlevel: 3
Starting irqbalance [OK]
Starting automount: No Automounts defined [OK}
Starting lpd: No Printers Defined [OK}
<now it hangs>.
If I reboot and choose single user it comes up OK.
init 2 that's OK
init 5 and it hangs at
Starting lpd: No Printers Defined [OK}

Installed the same on another identical box, just to check.
This one seems to get a bit further
Starting irqbalance [OK]
Starting automount: No Automounts defined [OK}
Starting lpd: No Printers Defined [OK}
Starting atd [OK]
Then it hangs!

The Graphics card is Intel 82865G which is quite modern and I guess not
supported.
Can live, I think, without a GUI.

Need a network connection however.
Network cards are 3ComEtherlink XL10/100 PCI 3C905C-TX.
ifconfig reveals only loopback.

What should I do next, please? Need to get this sorted for 6 boxes very
urgently.

TIA

Ton
