Dan,
Disk drive check turned up no errors.
Tried to re-download b25 but can't find the images, so downloaded b24 but it too wouldn't boot past the "Configuring devices." stage.
As per Karyn's email, the b25 SPARC images are not currently
available, so the URL for the x86 files is a little
different. Try:

I just did, and can get to them.
Annoyingly this was working in the past, had installed b16 and b22 seamlessly -
it's a laptop so not much in the way of hardware changes. Could I have updated
a bios setting that's causing me grief? Not quite sure how to diagnose, any
other tips?
Yup - we've all been there.
When booted with the "-v" option, it hangs indefinitely after outputting:

I'm a SPARC man, so I can't comment, but there are a number
of threads on this list that have discussed getting
intransigent laptops to boot, oriented around setting the
boot line in GRUB to include "-B acpi-user-options=x" where
"x" appears to be usually 2 or 8. But what these mean is
beyond me - at least until I buy myself a laptop ;-)
Best of luck... Sean.
