    I was able to take a picture of the screen right [exactly] before it reboots.

    This IDE chipset is SiS5513:SiS630 Rev. 1

    The last line is

    ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14

    I assume (from googling) that the next line it is trying or going to try would
    be / is
    ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15

    Here is the picture I'm referring to.

    Please, Please, Please, if anyone can help, I'd sure appreciate it.

    FYI:
    Since getting this info, I have tried
    install safe-settings, text mode with
    idebus=66 reserve=170,32 and still get same reboot.

    And....
    the 9.0 CD DOES work.

    B-)
