Try starting in Safe Mode. If you can get to here the problem is with the video drivers (get the appropriate w2k drivers from the manufacturer).

sorry mate, didn't help a bit! same spot, same blank screen! i've tried physically removing all isa cards, checked my bios(acpi-compatible), disabled all unnecessary bios settings and tried copying installation files to the harddisk, still no beef!
