There are no errors at the boot: prompt. It is when I hit enter to actually boot that I get a register dump followed by the message "BTX halted" and the screeen blanks. From here, I have to press the reset button. I never see the copyright messages from the kernel. It seems that DMA can cause this problem, so I did what I could to turn it off in the bios, to no avail. Thanks
