Thanks for the tip. I tried different HDDs etc, but didn't think that I
was testing all 3 on ONE POWER ADAPTER. *sigh*. Sure enough, swapping to
a different power adapeter did the trick - straight into an ugly RH6.2 I go.
I'm testing the others now, but at least I know what's going on. Looking
good so far.
