Sorry everyone. The BIOS report is from the SCSI adapter.
I should have refrained from mention of it in the original message.

The Lenny installer CD comes to this screen.
"Rescue operations
Execute a shell in /dev/hda1"
chroot isn't mentioned but I assumed it's there.
In any case, grub-install and update-grub appeared to run
properly. Yet rebooting led to the same black screen and
repeated reboots! Bad drive?

I'm not a software engineer but would have expected that,
by now, criteria are available to assess release readiness.
For example, the ISO 9000 family, might be relevant.
Thanks for any further ideas, ... Peter E.
