Did you select the 'Boot with ACPI disabled' option from the boot menu on the CD? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but people often transpose 'apic' and 'acpi', so I want to make sure. I would try toggling both the BIOS 'IO_APIC Mapping' option and the ACPI option on the CD boot menu. If all four combinations fail to work, the only thing left to do is set up a serial console and capture the boot output and email it out. The boot serial console is enabled by escaping from the CD boot menu and typing 'boot -Dhv' Scott
