Ixthusdan Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 Try to turn off a couple of things during the installation by hitting F1 and typing " Linux no acpi no dma" These things will work with an installed system, but the installer itself might be having trouble with them.

BaNaNe Posted March 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 what's your hardware config? It's an Asus A7n8X ultra (NFORCE2) + amd 2600 + 512ddr + 120go and 40go I'll try to boot with your options! Do you think that nforce2 causes these problems?

It's the apic and acpi that is causing your problems... you should also turn off the onboard network card (nvnet the 3com or realtek one should be ok), firewire, SATA, raid etc. you can turn them back on when after the install is done.
