    Hi Mark,

    try passing to the kernel during boot

    ide=nodma

    (may be ide1=nodma or ide2=nodma see if this is valid)

    These are paramters to the installation program (that doesn't work
    during installation) but they may function to the kernel (who knows?
    this may be your luck day. Okay, this is just a try, forget abou it if
    it doesn't work)
