I forgot to add that I was trying i386. I tried amd64 and things look good so far. Did a little more troubleshooting on i386 before trying amd64. Did not see any Bios options to reset "ECSD" etc. While in verbose boot with i386, the system would just give statements about probing for apm 0, acpi 0, pcibios 1 with pcibios winning and then I would get the page fault errors. I found that I could get the 4.6 snapshot cd to ocassionally boot if I had a usb stick plugged into the system. Thanks for the assistance Tan
