I am not sure if you are booting from the floppy or the CD. You may
want to try on of the other boot images available. While the BIOS issue
is the best bet it is possible you have a hardware conflict that
has shown up in 2.8. You may also want to try pulling any cards not needed
by the installation process to see if one of them has gone bad.

There is nothing deregulated about the electricity market in California.
Just look at all the government folks involved in the problem :)

You should stay off of current on a production server unless the need
is great.

There is no doubt we need government in our lives. There is also no doubt 
that we need salt in our diet. Watch out for too much of either one.
