Well; various people have suggested that it's down to network
incompatibility; auto-negotiate and the like.
All of my nodes are set to 10 Full Duplex; (I have some older nodes which
don't do 100Mb). There are no switches involved, just lots of coax and one
small hub.
I have migrated systems between nodes _many_ times, and it doesn't normally
take this long. I've even done an MCA 604 High to a Winterhawk II before,
and it took much less time.
The install did eventually complete successfully, after nearly 3 hours!
I think I'll put this down to one of those things, for now. I should have
gotten rid of all our old MCA nodes in the next couple of months.
Thanks anyway for your suggestions.
