Sounds like you're running into this bug:

I'm not using jfs, the machine has a floppy drive, and I got the error only once. But it may be related.

How old is this machine? Have you tried booting the ISO with 'noacpi'
or 'acpi=off'?

I've tried "acpi=off". The computer behaves erratically, just as it does with ACPI on but the modules not loaded. I think it's about 3 or 4 years old.

I think what I'll do is partition it for two distros, sharing /home, /boot, and swap, install SMGL without the bootloader, install the other distro, and see if I can get it to boot. I may need some help with this.
