Error : 0E:0028:C002006 and 0E: 0028: C0027562

Hello,
I am upgrading from Win98SE to WinME. When I get to the hardware settings and plug and play detection , the system hangs.
I get error: 0E:0028:C002006 and 0E: 0028: C0027562, on a blue screen, for example. I have to reboot by unplugging the machine.
I have crappy HP Pavilion 6535. I installed an Ethernet card and a 2.0 USB card, 2 weeks before the upgrade. The new hardware installs never worked on Win98SE. Could this be why I'm getting the error codes? When installing WinME? Due to incompatibility?
