I went through this headache last year.  The prosignia will only see 16
meg of memory and unless you are using the text only install that will
bomb. An even after you do that you will have a real slow system and
will barf the install on anything that needs memory

Here are some instructions on making the system see the extra memory.

I actually had some better instructions but I can't find or remember
them :-(

If I find what I am looking for I will shoot it over.
