It is worse now; after I hit enter at the boot: prompt, the machine shuts itself off. Using hohotplus did not make any difference. At this point, I don't know if there is some problem with the hardware or the problem is associated with the LiveCD. Unfortunately, I cannot do extensive testing at this moment because the machine is now in production use. It has been running SL5.5 x86_64 just fine. In any event, this seems like an "isolated" case since I do not see any other trouble report here and I was able to boot other machines without an issue. Akemi
