Thanks Fitz:
The utils help me partially, at least, it created a clean environment for
further trouble shooting. Finally, it proved to be a resource conflict. An
on-board sound driver was not installed, together with the ATI card,
occupied the IRQ 10 before IRQ re-directing, which prevented ATI from
getting the IRQ. After I installed audio driver, the IRQ 10 is free and ATI
took it before driver installation, then the installation went on with no
complaint. It sounds strange: some card needs to be installed first, some
others needs to be installed last.

Thanks again for your help.

Vince.
