cannot install linux debian

[Marco Antonio Vieira Assad]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install debian 2.2r5 in an Acer Altos 600 
machine, that has an aic-7899 controller. It freezes 
during install, normally when trying to partition the 
hard drive or checking for bad blocks. I made some 
research in the internet and noticed that the aic-7xxx 
module in linux have some problems. 
I could install Windows NT4 in the same machine, so I 
supose there is no hardware problem. AND I could 
install the same debian distribution in another 
identical machine, and that really annoyed me.

Any help? Maybe some bios tweaking?

Thanks in advance.
