hi sir cocoy, thanks for the tips i'll try to use noapic acpi=off on boot first..
i just got a hypothesis that there's something special with my motherboard. Im using an old MSI BX master on a P3 processor, & i just realize that it's using IDE controller based on the *Promise PDC 20262 *chipset. well i think maybe i'll need to load a driver before the installation would start. thanks -- Lloyd Martin T.
