Well I have gotten it to start to boot it now hangs at:
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: irq 23, io mem 0xdfffbc00

It has four lines above it that have the first 22 characters in common and talks about usb. I think it might be the kvm switch that is screwing me. I am going to try taking the kvm switch out of the mix and see.

Subject: Debian install issue

Hello all,

       I am attempting an install of Debian Squeeze. I have previously installed Ubuntu Server on this machine. During that install I had to boot the machine with the nomodeset boot parameter. Now with Debian that boot parameter does not work. Other boot parameters I have tried all to no avail are vga=normal fb=false vga=771 noapic noalpic. The graphics card is a Nvidia Gforce 3 with 128MB of ram. Various combinations of the above leave the machine hung with either a black screen or with selection screen still displayed. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,
