Failed installation of Debian v2.2.r3

Hello,
My installation did not go too well. Although I did manage to get the
initial installation done, there is a show-stopper problem:
When the system is booting, it gets to the point where it says:
"Calculating module dependencies..." ( ...this is from my memory... )
and freezes the system. It requires a _hard_ reboot.
A few times it managed to get past this problem which is how I got a
functional installation. But not since the installation was completed.
This also happened once or twice during the install phase at which time I
learned how to use apt-setup, apt-get, and dselect.
I did a "vanilla" install. Selected a few extra device drivers (for nfs,
hpfs and ntfs).
The computer is a multi-boot using IBM's Boot Manager, booting os/2 and
(theoretically) linux. The main linux installation is on disk0; the swap disk
is on disk1.
Any ideas why the sytem freezes? Anything I can do about it?
Hardware:
amd k6-2/350
256 MB RAM
(1) IDE channel for CDROMs only
(1) Buslogic bt-950 SCSI adapter
(2) quantum atlas 5 scsi drives
