Hi,

You nailed it, Andy. It was the kernel (and a bad disk that was failing
intermittently). I am now on -22 (and may go to -24), and the disk is
being replaced. It wasn't -19, though, it was the disk.

Funny, the disk didn't "fail" for a long time, it just acted weird. It would
cause me to boot the wrong kernel, fail to pick up some of the boot files
(thus the "lights of death") and then start working fine?? Finally it did
me a favor and died.

Didn't expect that - new disk!

Best,

Gene
