Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I inherited this server from the previous admin and it is running CentOS. The device did have files on it, but I was going to rebuild the system with Gentoo so data loss is not a concern. The SCSI card is brand new from HP with an 2120S Adaptec chip. The video on the 4200 is also builtin, but if you think it may be video related I can try a different card. I haven't seen any indication that it's a video problem so I haven't tried that yet. Prior to the power down and SCSI card, the server was working fine. I was trying to get it to boot from a USB stick so I enabled the two USB boot options - I believe cdrom and floppy, hoping one of them might pick up the USB stick. When this still booted straight to the OS I popped in the SCSI card to start the rebuild. I do not know if this is related to the SCSI card or not, that was just the only major change I made before the problem began. During the card installation, nothing seemed to go wrong - no strange snaps or any other indicators that I broke something.
