I've been having similar trouble trying to install native on 3 of my 4
machines.  Using an old PIII-500 box I was finally able to get it running once
I reconfigured some of the hardware.  Once I got that running I started
hammering on my my new Gateway.  The issue I appear to be having on my other 3
machines is that they all, if I'm not mistaken, is they all have SATA drives.
 When I plugged an IDE DVD into the gateway it booted.  Unfortunately it is
not seeing *ANY* of my 3 SATA devices.  I've had similar problems with my Acer
laptop.  I'm currently doing a backup of one of my old IDE backup hard drives
so I can plug that in and see if that will work.

Can you give us a link to your ISO's for us to try?

  Thanks and best regards,
