Unfortunately the alternative work around did not work.
Still getting the:
WARNING: Ignoring false simplex bit.
WARNING: Ignoring false simplex bit.
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at f,1/ide at 0 (ata0):
timeout: abort request, target=0 lun=0
WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at f,1/ide at 0 (ata0):

WARNING: /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at f,1/ide at 0 (ata0):

On my initial email I had duplicated first two lines, without acknowledging
the other 3 warning having a different timeout error message.
Would it be easier to remove one of the CPUs and try the install then?
Or is this a lost cause?
Thanks for the help thus far.
