I'll just gather all the replies here......

I changed the default video card to "AGP" in the BIOS and slipped in an Nvidia 
card.   I get just a bit farther in the boot process.    I now see:
disabling saned;  editing /etc/saned
...a few network services start ....
Checking Battery state                         [OK]
and then it hangs up.

It hangs the same place on a xubuntu install CD  (12.04, i386)

The tab and enter keyboard suggestion does not work.

I cannot locate a "safe video" mode in the kernel options.

I did try a boot option for "Some Dells" that set aicp7xxx to "no_probe" but 
that did not help. 

Hoping someone else has seen this.  Thanks in advance
