 Hi All,

 I have had some success and at least it boots.

 options on kernel (grub.conf) apm=off acpi=off
 (Hardware was VIA chipset - Pentium III/800Mhz, Tyan1854 MB)

 One of these is probably default in any case but I was more
 concerned to see if my installation media is OK instead
 of whether I make this particular machine work.

 Installed on my prime machine no problems and also dual boots
 XP Pro no problems.

 regards,
   Bruce
