I have one box which displayed similar characteristics when I tried installing 5.0R/5.1R/5-CURRENT on it. As I needed the machine in a hurry, I tried 4.8R and it worked fine. This would be about a month ago. I don't currently have access to the system to get machine details, I will try and get these later. It was quite an old box, probably something like a P233 (PII I guess), and no idea from here what mobo/BIOS is in it.
