Problem solved -- it was the system date in the BIOS!

With the new motherboard, the date was set to Jan, 2000. I guess Norton
Anti-Virus saw that date and barfed.

(This is one of those things that occurred to me in the middle of the
night -- I suddenly woke up and thot: Could it be the date?)

So I went into CMOS, changed the date, and boot up went normally.

Phew.

Thanks,
Sandy
