As for ACPI, the boot menu option recently changed to "enable ACPI", so I'm assuming it must be disabled by default now. I tried with ACPI on 6.2-RC1 and got the same result. I was able to narrow this down to something that has changed since 6.2-BETA3. The BETA3 CD boots, installs, and works fine. The RC1 CD won't boot, as I described in my first message. With the em card taken out, the 6.2-RC1 CD boots and installs just fine, so it's definitely the em card. Hardware: Dual AMD Athlon MP 2800+, Tyan Tiger MPX motherboard, 2 GB reg ECC RAM, Adaptec 2110S PCI-X SCSI RAID, onboard xl(4) NIC, Intel PRO/1000 MT PCI desktop adapter (ugh, I know it's not well suited for the box, but this is a personal server and a cheap card that's adequate for my needs). Drives: 3 x 18 GB SCSI in RAID 5, 1 x 73 GB SCSI on RAID controller but a stand alone drive, and a 500 GB IDE drive on the onboard IDE controller. Cheers, -Chris
