 Hi All
 
 Just an update, It seems that my kernel no longer hangs at the APIC_IO 
 message if I disable the new bootloader menu aka "beastie" as follows :
 
 --- dist/loader.rc      Tue Oct 21 17:34:04 2003
 +++ loader.rc   Tue Oct 21 17:34:23 2003
 @@ -11,10 +11,10 @@
   check-password
 
   \ Load in the boot menu
 -include /boot/beastie.4th
 +\ include /boot/beastie.4th
 
   \ Do the normal initialization and startup
   initialize drop
 
   \ Start the boot menu
 -beastie-start
 +\ beastie-start
 
 Hope this helps someone - don't try this on a production system until 
 you're happy it works!! - It still needs to be tested+verified by others.
 
 
 Cheers
