Quite simply, I can boot the 13.1 DVD image, see the welcome message, but selecting anything but boot from HDD and memory test fails. Even firmware test ends in failure. The "Loading Kernel" bar moves as expected but when the kernel's loaded (I assume), the system simply reboots and brings me back to the 31.1 Welcome splash screen again. The install is on an HP desktop with an Athlon 4-core CPU that's been running 12.3 successfully for well over a year.
I tried two two different downloads (same file, of course, different sources) - the checksums check out. I just can't get past the initial startup kernel load.
