Comments/Problems: Insert CD, boot from CD. I get the Lilo: prompt & Language 
selection. Select En-US and hit return. The machine locks up solid. I need to 
pull powercord/battery to restart. Have tried with different ACPI flags, 
boot-kbd flags. No use. On the same laptop, I managed to install MEPIS, 
Knoppix etc (all based on Debian)

Mandrake/RedHat/Gentoo etc run fine.
