I installed a GFCI outlet in a hall bathroom, following the
manufacturers instructions for determining which of the two sets of
wires were load vs. line. The install and testing seemed to go o.k.,
however when I turn on the hall light the outlet immediately trips. I
can turn off the light and reset the outlet, but can't reset while the
hall light is on. Is it possible that the load is too much for the 15
amp GFCI outlet? Or is it more likely that I have something miswired?


It could be miswired or you could have a ground fault situation with the
hall light.

If the hall light is the only load and not some other bathroom outlet,
outdoor outlet, basement outlet, or garage outlet, I would remove the hall
light feed (The load) from the GFCI and just splice those wires together
with the hot wires. Put pigtails on them to feed the GFCI and put it all
back together in the wall.
