I could try that, but I don't think that I have any old AT power supplies left, everything else around here uses ATX power supplies. I'm sure I could find one somewhere... I have access to a special ISA board that does some basic voltage testing (I guess this is one time were it's good to still have ISA slots :-), but I don't know whether or not that would really be conclusive. Do you know exactly what your power supply was doing wrong? Maybe I could look for the same thing. In the mean time, I'll probably just play with the BIOS settings. Thanks, Lowell Alleman

** I had a problem with the second phase of the installer (when it does the ** reboot). Apparently, it died midway, and I was forced to reboot manually. ** When the system came back up, I was dropped at the console. It appears that ** this happed because the LVM configuration was not loaded properly because of ** some module issues. I ran depmod, did a quick test or two, rebooted, and ** the installation continued without any other problems. ** ** I've only tried this on a single machine which is fairly old, and has had ** some weird issues in the past. (I keep running memory checks, but so far ** nothing has shown up). boy, this sounds like some probs I had ( not w/ 8.0 but earlier ) turned out to be a random power supply prob. But that isn't something you can test for unless you have a lot of computer test equipment and a desire to be glowing in the dark, right before you permanently step off this planet for the great beyond! I supose you could swap it for one in another box that is running w/o errors ... but this isn't something I'd attempt ... OTH.. if you have few skills for self preservation ... you might <G>
