Frank - this sounds familiar to me. When I first set up 9.0 I could boot into that, but not into 8.2. After much help from the list I found that it happened because I had a /boot directory in each install (which is what happens if you don't make a separate /boot partition). You need to

Thanks et. If we are simply talking about irq control/handling, it shouldn't be a problem, should it? Neither 8.2 nor 9.0 get beyond the faintly lit blank screen that I have seen described somewhere, so I don't think I have much to lose. Anne I think it is pretty sure to not let the smoke

Got it. It was the noapic thing for me, as apparently it was for quite a few others. I hit F1 from the first menu that popped up after CD1 booted, got to the prompt, entered linux noapic, it said an alternate was being used and bingo, installation and reboot went flawlessly. Thanks to Dennis
