I understand.  FWIW, I tried every BIOS change imaginable to make sure it
wasn't some weird BIOS interaction.

What are you suggestions regarding "how old"?  My plan *was* to install a
2.4 based distribution next, but if there are specific 2.6.x versions you
think are worth trying, I'm happy to give a try.  I'd rather try the
2.6.x's you suggest first, of course.
