I meant to mention that since Qube2 Restore CD boots ans installs on my
qube 1 fine, I do no believe it is my ethernet card.

In case this help here is some more lines from the screen:

....
pcibios_init : PCI BIOS Revision 2.10 entry at some_address
Probing PCI Hardware.
Calibrating Delay Loop.. ok - 752.03 BogoMIPS
initrd overwritten (0x00da0000 < 01044ab8) - disabling it.
Memory: tells me how much available
Bad pmd in pte_alloc: 000000e7
Kernel Panic: Failed to allocate buffer hash table

In swapper task - not syncing

... this is where it sits ...

I hope that more info may tell someone knowledgable what my poroblem
is. 
Also, maybe there parameteres for  boot: I can use to help resolve
this.

Please help.  Thank You very much.
