    I also checked the Looonnnggg thread on the bug report for the p4p800 class
    mother board... At first glance this is not the same problem.... My linux seems
    to boot up during install, but the installer seems to die... I get the Blue
    screen (Fedora Core on top left) with prompts on how to proceed/select items,
    etc.

    After some initial messages about initializing usb, sata, etc (I will have to
    try and capture the sequence) The box appears to hang... Disk Light on for
    about a minute or 2... Then

    Poof... Junk characters all over the screen and nothing... No keyboard, no num
    lock, etc... Hard reset...

    The box is currently running Win xp and Redhat 9 on separate hard drives with
    boot floppy...

    Also Video card is OLD compared to rest of hardware... 4M S3 pci card. This
    was my first thought due to the funny characters...

    Thanks for your patience...(And sorry about the subject problem...)
