5.2-RC Install Issue

[Thomas Moyer]

Well the BIOS is not that old (less than 6 monthes) and as far as I know
nothing special is enabled.  I succesfully installed 5.0 and 5.1 on it
when they came out but when trying to install 5.2-RC2 it fails with
messages below.

Hi Thomas,
What's the age of the BIOS which is there on the mother board? I would
recommend update it. Also disable fancy things like BIOS memory
cacheable and memory shadowing in the BIOS

When I try to boot the install CD I get a huge list of error messages
before it even gets to sysinstall.

ata2-master: WARNING - SETFEATURES recovered from missing interrupt

Then the computer locks up completely and I have to power it off I've
tried both with and without ACPI enabled and also tried the FTP install
but that fails as well.
