HDD is an 80 GB baracudda 7200 rpm seagate. 256 MB ram, C= Drom=20 install media. interfacing via KVM (no hassles there) on boot, no problems, kernel from CD loads, install proceeds just fine. on reboot of configured machine however, boot loader screen comes up fine= ,=20 select boot partition (I have tried a number of combinations), OK, loads=20 kernel OK from HDD. but when the kernel starts to load (e.g. after pressi= ng=20 enter when asked to press enter to load kernel or any other key for comma= nd=20 prompt) the screen shows non-random rapid scrolling data - looks like cor= e=20 dump info or something - i.e. it has structure but is too fast to see. KB= =20 does not respond after this.... anyone?
