Please look at console 3 (CNTL-ALT-F3) and console 4 (CNTL-ALT-F4).
The cionsole 3 shows install log.
If you don't find sis900 in console 3,
Please check pcitable and module-info file
in initrd on the floppy disk.
If you find sis900 in console 3, please look at console 4.
The sonsole 4 shows kernel log.
If sis900 module installation will be fail, you may be find its reason
in console 4 messages.
