Tim:
A tip of the proverbial hat to you.
Removed one hard drive and I was able to redo the install. It complained
about "Error processing LVM" but a reinit all fixed that.
Once I get a "bare minimum install", I'll swap hard drives to make
certain that it isn't a problem with the other one. Of course, given
that it looks like power supply is sagging, at some point I will assume
that it might not like "only one hard drive". Whether I spring for a
new/used power supply to nurse this old beast along is a separate
question (probably answered with a "no").
I really appreciate the suggestion to consider the power supply.
Once again, thanks (and thanks to everyone else who offered help)
Paul
