BTX halted

[kalin mintchev]

hi all...

i'm trying to install 5.3 on an amd machine...
i got the discs and they are ok but when i start the off the disk the boot
stops with BTX halted no matter which boot mode i chose.
i looked on google and i found a few posts about bios issues but non of
that helped - i couldn't find how to disable DMA. the only location i saw
the DMA mentioned was under PnP/PCI configurations => Resources Controlled
by in the bios but there the setting is Auto(ESCD). i tried al the options
there and it still stops at the same place...

anybody can help?!

thanks....
