After reading of your experiences, the following scenarios suggest themselves:
- Booting from cd with the Promise TX2000 Raid card removed
- Booting from cd with 1 cpu removed (with or without the TX2000)
- (Assuming some of the above work) Moving the TX2000 to a different PCI slot and booting
Well that was interesting:
- Removed the Promise TX2000, boots from the cd fine! (ahhh) - Moved the TX2000 from PCI 3 -> PCI 6. Boots from the cd fine. - Put cover back on, won't boot from cd (growl). - Replace infra-red mouse with standard 2 button mouse. Boots from cd fine.
So, hmm, not sure exactly what did the trick, but so far I have managed to install the 'mininal' distribution set and boot normally.
I will post an update on the final state of affairs, but so far so good.
Thanks for the replies - made me think!
