It is very likely that this is "on the motherboard" video with shared

Unfortunately, it never offers me a chance to specify available memory.
The CD-ROM is running through its startup script up until the time
it fails loading the "loop"(?) filesystem.
And, at that time, I appear to be stuck.
Alan,
When the CD starts to boot, you should see a screen that gives you 2
boot options - Press F1 or Press Enter.
When you see that screen, press the 'F1' key and it will take you to a
console and a boot prompt.
When you get to the prompt, type the following (without the quotes) and
press enter;
'linux noapic nolapic acpi=off'
If that boots, but still gives you the boot error that you had before,
chances are that the CD wasn't burned properly.
