windows xp installation hangs

I have a 400 MHZ intel celeron processor with 128 MB RAM. It has
windows Me instlaled in one of the hard drives. I tried to install
Windows XP in another hard drive as a new installation.

The installation hands when isntlaling devices. I checked the log file
to find this...

In SETUPLOG.TXT

09/17/2003 17:59:43,d:\xpclient\base\ntsetup\syssetup\syspnp.c,2901,,SETUP:

Device was NOT installed via answer file driver

In SETUPAPI>LOG

#I023 Actual install section: [NO_DRV_X]. Rank: 0x00000001. Effective
driver date: 07/01/2001.

From this I am thinking it is some hardware conflict with the system
speakers. I do not know how to resolve this problem.

Please help.

Thank You!

I have exactly the same problem, with XP Home OR XP Pro,
the installation hangs at the device installation stage
(34 mins left).

If you do find out the problem please let me know how to
resolve.

Cheers
Mark

Additional information

Motherboard is BL440ZX and BIOS is 4B4LZ0XA.86A.0012.P05
Two sticks of RAM - totaling 128 MB
Other standard stuff such as modem, LAN card, disabled cable modem,
sound and video cards exist and are connected while installation.

I saw on the Intel site that this motherboard is no longer supported?
in case i need to update the BIOS, where can I find the update? also
saw that older BIOSes do not support ACPI stuff. The problem i was
getting wasa at device acpi\pnp0800.... is this connected?

Please help. Urgent!

Thanks,
