Hi i'm having problems Installing Debian. It freezes during the boot sequence. I've tried booting from the CD and from the rescue floppy but it always fails.

Boot sequence
detects:
hda - main harddisk
hdb - linux harddisk
hdc - Installation CDROM
hdd - DVD-ROM
ide0 - then linux sets the IRQ and some other HEX.
ide1 - same as above
fd0- it finds the floppy drive
md drive 0.36.3 MAX_MD_dev=4, MAX_REAL=8
<at this point if i'm booting from the rescue disk, the installation>
<fails, and a cursor blinks on the bottom of the screen>
sym53c416.c : version 1.0.0
DC390: 0 adapters found
<if i'm booting from CD-ROM it fails here>

i'm lost any ideas?

my computer is a polywell:

Poly 800K7 ATX Motherboard
Athlon 700MHz 128K L1/512K L2 Cache
128MB SDRAM
Seagate 28GB Ultra DMA/66 IDE 7200RPM Hard Drive
HP 8x4x32 CD-RW 9000i
Toshiba DVD-ROM
Soundblaster Live 256 voice
Nvidia GE-Force 256 4xAGP graphics card
Sigma Hollywood hardware MPEG2 card
LinkSys 10/100 etherfast card


any help would be appreceated.

           -Nick
