I have an Elitegroup Intel i845E based motherboard with audio- and video- on-chip support.No OS installation to refer to .   
>Description:
  The CD-rom installation crashes after the kernel booting as "device probing" picture hangs and nothing more happens.Kernel configuration option doesn't seem to help , I tried using I/O and IRQ information from both my ASPLinux and Windows2000 installations; tried not touching it , same result . Thus the installation process ends unexpectedly .
>How-To-Repeat:
      Just try CD installation from a CD by www.linuxcenter.ru on a machine with the above mentioned configuration.
