Perhaps there was another error unrelated to X, but that was the

This may give you more hints as to what the problem is.

Well, the text-based install worked like a charm.  (Almost--the system
lives on /dev/sda, but GRUB is in /dev/hda's boot record.  For some
reason, grub fails to find the /boot partition on /dev/sda1.  But I've
fixed that before--just have to remember how.)

Thanks all.

When you get to the kernel selection screen in grub, can you go into the edit function and see your SCSI drive? (It might be that grub is seeing it as hd0, rather than hd1).

If grub starts the kernel, and it is interrupted shortly there-after, the following might help: After you get the system running (probably from a rescue CD), you might have to do a mkinitrd to get the SCSI driver installed in the ram-disk.

Hope that this helps!
Steve
