Xenix Installation Problem on 386

[Royal Ontario Museum]

I'm having a problem installing Xenix on a 386.

The system is configured like this:

Trump 386 mother board (Chips and Technologies peripheral chips)
CDC Wren V Hard disk (383 Mb unformatted capacity)
	1224 Cylindars
	15 Heads
	Write Precomp 128
	Landing Zone 1224

Western Digital WD 1007 controller
Video Seven Fast Write VGA (16 bit)

The other peripherals should not interfere with installation.

The installation is running into problems with the badtrk
routine.  It either fails or finds too many bad tracks to fit
into the table.

On an earlier installation we found a real conflict between a
16 bit VGA card (Trident chip set) and the WD 1007 controller
and switching to an 8 bit VGA card allowed installation to
continue.  I'm wondering whether there is some conflict with
the BIOSs of the VGA and HD controller.

Has anyone had this kind of problem?  SCO has been helpful
with a checklist of things to watch for, but they cannot
confirm/deny any of my suspicions.

Thanks in advance for any help.
