I have a feeling it might be a compatibility issue - judging by this thread: <http://groups.google.com/groups?q=fedora+iwill&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&; selm=oea4j0972frajhf0dh519peah8gf8267hi%404ax.com&rnum=3>. This is also backed up by the fact I just installed Red Hat 9 on the machine (a clean install - again!) without any issues whatsoever.. it booted fine after the install completed. I tried removing/reseating the sticks of RAM, trying 256Mb, 512Mb and various permutations, etc without any success. I guess I'll have to try FC3-test 2.90 or wait until FC3 comes out to see if I have any better luck. Regards, Darren
