At different times, I've had similar problems with older distros with
various HW and it has been;
   - first install just didn't write mbr properly,
   -installing mbr to /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda,
   - used LBA mode or AUTO on a dud bios,
   - needed to use "linear" mode 

I usually try them in that order.
