Thanks,

Sorry about my other message. I had forgotten that you said that a 850MB drive works fine in that machine, and Etch installs.
However, maybe you should check the hardware anyway. The power supply might be "on the edge"--able to support some operations and not others. Use a boot CD or floppy to help you verify that the installation of Etch succeeded.
IOW, check that the files you placed on the HD are there. Write a few more files to the HD, reboot, then verify that the files haven't changed.
You can also copy the bootsector/MBR to a file using dd and check that it looks right (whatever that is).
