Check your DMA Chip.  If it is an 82C206 multifunction peripherial controller,
try a different vendor if you have that problem.  I have had good success
with the Chips & Technology Branded version.  I had spooky intermittent
problems with a "second source" version (I tried 3 from that mfgr). The
C&T chip worked the first time, using 486-25,AMI Bios, Tiwan Board.
