Boot single-user mode off the install CD, and run "pciconf -lv" to see what hardware is present. If you can provide us with that output and maybe a "dmesg", we can check and update the drivers as needed. You might also try using the 6.1 beta images which just came out, and see whether that does any better on your hardware. Note that you could also try other things, such as making sure the BIOS has been updated to the most recent version, and you could try doing the installation in safe mode (which disables APCI and APIC/SMP). -- -Chuck
