I've mostly seen behavior that resembles this when I've tried to load boot-code from from an invalid place. Depending on how picky your BIOS is, and the exact configuration you're using, you should make absolutely sure you've installed the boot-code where you think you're installed it, that you're loading from where you think you've installed it, and that you're trying to load it from a partition that has been set as active. -- Adam Fabian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- [email protected] mailing list
