wait a sec here
mike dropped u the hint..about 10 or 12 post's back
just put the hardrive into any mobo u have
it will error..but it should get past the sub boot error u have,
u c the kill kernel is getting called for a reason...we need to know the reason
seem's to me u are putting the crat in front of the horse,
let's take a look here,u bought a new or rather used harddrive
same key,same mobo,same riser,cleaned the ram,so we are left
with very few question's that need to be adressed..are u sure is new harddrive was working ?
1 bang on them old thing's will make them do the same thing >post-boot<
surley to god u have a spare pc there ?,just place th merit harddrive in it
un-hook any cd-rom's/floppy's,leave keyboard and mouse hooked up,along with
the monitor..and watch to see if the hd goes past sub boot routine
if it dose? alow it to error out :and it will:,then u know u need a mobo or raiser or both
u will need to spec the mobo,merit used 3-x type's in them year's
it is right in the pdf i posted for u
personaly i have 3-x of them i care less about
but i am not about to pay shipping..
mike need's some max key's..deal with canadian code i can hook the bother up
but i ill not pay for shipping.
let's get to the bottom of your problem,and i will send u anything u need..i enough of them.
