I need a little more information about your equipment. Are you using any scsi devices? Are you using any IDE Raid or ATA100 controllers? Did you download iso images from a site then burn the iso images to cd. If you went the iso route you may simple have iso images that were corrupted during the download process. You can use the md5sum checksum tool to verify the integrity of the images. You may also want to start your install using "linux noauto" to prevent auto-detect during your install.

I'll check back in the next couple of days.
