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?
