If you have the "memory hoisting" or "memory remapping" or similar option in the BIOS enabled try to disable it.
If that doesn't help see below.
So, if I might hijack my thread back again, is there no way to install 9.2 on my machine that has happily been running 9.1 for about 9 months? Last November I successfully downloaded, burnt, and ran, the 9.2 Live DVD and so assumed the upgrade would work.
The 64->32bit upgrade probably has broken the installation severly. You can try to rescue something, but it might be a lot of work or not work. I would boot from the rescue system if possible and then save your data that you still need on an different partition, then do a reinstall with a format of the old root partition. Regarding why the DVD install did not work - that's very weird. What happens when you try to read the DVD e.g. from the rescue system. Can the DVD ROM read it properly then? The 9.2 DVD is double layer, maybe your DVD ROM doesn't like that. -Andi
