Hi Urs,

I did a brief testing of the x86_64 LiveCD on the machine that had
trouble with the first version. 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.
