I have an old |IBM intellistation that does the same thing with 5.x. After I install |I get the BTX halted, but if I cold boot it after the message it |will boot. It sounds like you get the BTX Halted error before you install, is that correct? If I remember correctly, the ISO image from the web site should have an MD5 hash. Have you compared the hash on the web site with the hash of the ISOs you downloaded? Bryan -- Open Source: by the people, for the people.
