The problem appears to happen at the 90% Hardware detection stage.
With the video card removed and using the onboard VIA video, X froze & the cursor would not respond.
With a different video card (AGP SIS XABRE), X restarted a few seconds after hardware detection started. Rebooting gave GRUB error 15.
The 3rd set of attachments come from the SIS attempt
