Right, I tried sysinstall again yesterday and it worked!! I installed a few packages and all was ok, a few minutes later I tried it again, and it dumped core :( I then left the machine for about 5 minutes, and it still dumped core but I was able to do a little more on sysinstall before it crashed again. Funny thing, Linux never had any problems with the machine, but many of times it did kick 'ide0: timeout' then followed by 'ide0: reset' I used to get this error about 10 times a day.
