Ultra 10 Etch boot problem

[Chris Andrew]

Following on from my last post regarding the Etch install failing at "Booting Linux....", I have now replaced the HDD and also the CDROM.  This didn't change the situation.  I secretly suspected it wouldn't, as other distros will install ok. 

Can anybody suggest how I can troubleshoot my install?

I am not passing any boot options, do I need to?

Many thanks,

Chris.
