I have seen this problem asked many times recently, IIRC the solution is to use the linux nodma on the boot prompt. Please see the options to make sure I remember correctly though, the one you want prevents hardware testing prior to install. If this isn't the right answer, perhaps you could search the archives for the many alternate installs which have been discussed to death here? HTH Scott
