Additionally, grab one of the 5.3BETA snapshots and try it out.  A LOT of
things have been fixed/improved since 5.2.1.

IRQs are shared, so there could be TWO things on IRQ 10...

So you can't really be sure it's your graphic card.

I believe that is the same card as is in my laptop, and 5.2.1 installed
fine on that...

I'm not saying for sure it's *NOT* your graphics card -- just that it's
not looking all that likely...

Cheap/easy things to try:
re-download (or check the checksum) the disk 1 binary.
re-burn a new CDR.

What *other* hardware is in your computer?
Anything "funky"?
Perhaps pull out anything that's not super crucial, and try to install.
