Very odd. T42s pretty much just work for eCS.

Makes me wonder about the CD/DVD.

This should be irrelevant.

I don't see anything unexpected in the dfsee log.
There are a couple of easy things you can try with dfsee. Wipe the
freespace. Do the standard mbr and partition chain fixes that dfsee
offers.

I doubt replacing drivers will help. Your hardware is basically older
than the versions of eCS you are trying to install.
To replace files that are on the CD, there's the bootupdt diskette
procedure. I don't know if Veit has updated this to work with a flash
drive yet.
>Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
With the 2.0 beta, try booting without acpi enabled.
