You say "ATA" drives. Are they PATA (IDE) or SATA? Are they set up as
a RAID? If so, hardware or software.
You may also want to try turning off DMA on the CD during the install.
If your CD shows up as device /dev/hdc, try adding "hdc=nodma" to the
end of the "boot:" prompt:
boot: linux hdc=nodma
You may want to try turning off DMA on IDE completely:
boot: linux ide=nodma
Also, try disabling APIC operations by adding " noapic" to the boot
command:
boot: linux noapic
You may need a combination:
boot: linux ide=nodma noapic
