I saw a "dumped core" race past on the screen=2E I also experienced at least 1 LOR=2E But the install continued, seemingly un(interrupted|affected)=2E That said, I chose the reboot option after completion=2E Ejected the DVD during POST, and I'm stuck at: BTX loader 1=2E00 BTX version is 1=2E02 Consoles: internal video/keyboard followed by 2 gibberish characters; 1 appears as a right pointing arrow, the other, kind of like a battlestar galactca spaceship=2E NOTE: those 2 characters did not show up on the initial reboot from the install (just the 2 lines above)=2E But after I attempted a hard reset after the first fail=2E Thank you for all your time, and consideration=2E --Chris
