I'm sorry that I didn't provide more details. Anyway, I did have success getting the installer to run reliably when I used the 'noapic' option. However given that I have a multiple CPU machine, I was reluctant to get too excited when it seemed to work. I understand what you're saying, but at the same time I'm confused. Please help me understand; I've assumed that if I need to use 'noapic' to get the kernel on the install DVD to run than I would also need it to get the final installed kernel to run also. Why is it that I might only need 'noapic' during the update? Thanks again. -- Brian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
