I'm trying to install 6.0 64bit on my Compaq Presario R3000 (AMD Athlon 64 3400+). When I boot to the disk1 cd I get to the boot menu where I am presented with the options to boot default, no acpi, safemode, single user mode etc. However, no matter which boot option I choose my laptop powers off after a few seconds of churning (/-\-/). I can "escape to the boot console". Are there any special variables I need to set in order to proceed from the boot console? Thanks, Aaron
