Have you tried turning off ACPI in the install? Ok, when I boot the menu has default and then the second choice is to install with ACPI turned on... Tried that one and it progresses just a tad further. It reports: Orm0: <ISA Option ROMs> at iomem 0xe8000-0xedfff,0xc8000-0xcbfff,0xc0000-0xc7fff on isa0 Pmtimer0 on isa0 Then the computer freezes at that point. What else could I tell you about this machine? 4 X 200MHz processors. 512Mb RAM Scsi hardware raid controller. 4 drives 2 x 9Gb and 2 X 4 Gb Safe mode just hung on the orm0: line. Starting to wonder if I have MB issues. The 4th menu item is to boot single user mode. This one hangs just as the default one does. Other interesting things I just noticed. Eisab0: <PCI-EISA bridge> at device 15.0 on pci0 Eisa0: <EISA bus> on eisab0 Isa0: <ISA bus> on eisab0 Pci0:> <memory, RAM> at device 20.0 (no driver attached) Guess I am back to requesting thoughts again. Thank you to the people that have responded so far. Brad
