Well, I got past the problem, but don't know what
caused it.

I downloaded the boot.flp, kern1.flp and kern2.flp
images and made floppies.

Booted using the floppies and did the install off the
burned iso images (the same ones I tried to boot with
and caused the btx: halted).

Installed clean. Now the machine is running 5.4-rel.

thanks for all who tried to help.

I found this when I Googled BTX Halted. ss:esp= :

| BTX Loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01

|did you try a hard power reset after this message? I have an old
|IBM intellistation that does the same thing with 5.x. After I install
|I get the BTX halted, but if I cold boot it after the message it
|will boot.

|It sounds like you get the BTX Halted error before you install, is that
|correct? If I remember correctly, the ISO image from the web site
|should have an MD5 hash. Have you compared the hash on the web site
|with the hash of the ISOs you downloaded?

|Bryan

Yes, the BTX Halted error occurs prior to the install. I tried hard power
reset
after getting the message and it still occurrs. I verified the MD5 has and
its
clean. I am out of ideas.

Is there a special way to burn the iso's in windows using Nero ? I followed
the
nero instructions for burning an ISO image disk.

thanks,
Darryl
