The INSTALL, INSALL_LAPTOP, and GENERIC kernels vary greatly. When you
made the CD/Diskettes you booted, what kernel did you make them with?
What miniroot filesystem?

When you get into the install menu, do "uname -a" and report back what you
see. Also, try: "cat /kern/msgbuf | more", page through the cruft at the
top, and look at the kernel hardware probe messages.

How old is old? PCMCIA or Cardbus controller? You ought to be able to
tell from the windows control pannel hardware manager.
