    My 133 is the same (S1834D - printing on the board for an ISA but no
    actual slot). What revision is your board?

    After reading of your experiences, the following scenarios suggest
    themselves:

    - Booting from cd with the Promise TX2000 Raid card removed
    - Booting from cd with 1 cpu removed (with or without the TX2000)
    - (Assuming some of the above work) Moving the TX2000 to a different PCI
    slot and booting

    I will let you know how I get on.

    In the meantime, here is a dmesg output from when 4.10 was installed:

    and output from mptable :

    (Thanks to Gregor Bittel for maintaining such an handy list!)

    regards
