(My first post to this list, so no whining if I
top/bottom/whatever-posted incorrectly.)

I know that at least with floppy disks such as memtest, if the boot
sector is corrupt, you will get lots of hex codes spat onto your screen,
as this is the BIOS's only method of reporting errors. Perhaps try a
different CD, or making boot floppies & installing over the network.
