Ah, upon rereading your original message, I see that the installation
completed fine, and you were having the problems after the first boot of
the installed system.
In this case, rebuilding a new kernel without the PNP BIOS driver is a
fairly easy way to solve the problem. The option you're looking to
disable is 'CONFIG_PNPBIOS', aka 'Plug and Play BIOS support
(EXPERIMENTAL)'.
You could also try to install and boot the kernel that the installer
used, which, since it worked, presumably didn't have the PNP BIOS driver
installed either.
