Hello!
I'm trying to install Win98 QI on a legacy system but it remains stuck at "IRQ sharing detection" (see image below)
I tried various BIOS setting but cannot get to get the installer to start. I've never had this issue before (and I've used quickinstall with many different systems)
The motherboard is a MSI 875P Neo with a Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz. This machine can boot Windows XP without any issues 🤔
I dont have any other PCI cards plugged in, I just have an AGP graphics card plugged in (I also tried different graphics card)
Any ideas why it hangs like this?

Very odd and may be one of those "Linux kernel randomly doesn't like
hardware X" cases... Could you maybe run HWINFO on windows to show what
device 1D function 7 is?

it seems to be the USB controller:

Hmmmmmmmmm, not liking this at all.... This is a fairly common platform and i want it to work flawlessly...
I am assuming if you deactivate USB 2.0/EHCI controller in the BIOS then it will work?
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2025):
The only 875P board I own is a EPoX, which I want to make a dedicated build with, and I can try to reproduce the issue there
@pchouinardupgrade commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2025):
well I'm installing from a USBODE device so I cant really turn it off :) I did try disabling legacy USB devices but when I do that it wont even boot from by USBODE device
I've used this same device with many systems now without any issues but this time maybe its not playing well with that board 🤔
I can try to test with a real CD-ROM drive + sata cable + burned CD of Win98 quick install image on this same motherboard but it will take me a while to report back
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Sep 18, 2025):
the BIOS should let you disable EHCI ( USB2.0) separately whilst keeping USB1.1 intact, no?
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Sep 19, 2025):
Could you check maybe with a much older version of QuickInstall? Maybe like 0.8.x? It used a different kernel
@pchouinardupgrade commented on GitHub (Sep 23, 2025):
ok I think it might be something wrong with my board 😢
I am trying to install using an original win98 SE CD using a SATA CD-ROM drive and with the USB controller DISABLED altogether
and I'm still getting an error at the step where its scanning the PCI bus ... I dont think win98-quickinstall is the culprit
@oerg866 commented on GitHub (Sep 24, 2025):
That's a real shame, working 875 boards are so rare :(
