i have also ran into a similar problem. i ended up resetting
the bios to defaults and restarting the installation again.
i am not exactly sure what i did to cause the problem, but i
think it had something to do with changes that i made to the
pci/isa and pnp configuration options to get another os to
work on that board. hope that helps
