Partitioning with DOS does get rid of the geometry rejection problem. (Though, for some reason, fdisk sets the geometry to 1/1/1 as I partition and I have to reset it. This is apparently a bug.) However, I still had problems. This time, instead of freezing, the system brought up a dialogue box with the message: Write failure on transfer! (wrote -1 bytes of 1536 bytes) On VTY2, The system showed: pid 32: gunzip: uid 0: exited on signal 11 pid 31: cpio: uid 0: exited on signal 11 (I don't remember my UNIX signals that well, but I seem to recall that signal 11 is SIGTERM.) The last file copied (it varies from run to run) was kernel.GENERIC. Trying to continue the install returned additional "wrote -1 bytes of X bytes" messages. RAM tests good. About the only other thing I could try replacing is the disk drive. Unfortunately, I don't have another to replace it with.... --Brett
