        First off, your system probably has too little RAM. I'd suggest dropping
in another 128 MB DIMM.

        Second, drivers run down in CPU Ring Zero (real mode, or kernel mode).
"scsiport0" is (usually) the ATAPI (IDE) driver. Did you leave a CD in the
drive? Normally, this shouldn't be a problem; but it *can* be.

        Hope this helps!
