>Description:
    When i boot up with ACPI off (otherwise it will not boot), and boot the installer off of the cd, the installer pops up at first saying "Probing for harding (this may take awhile)" (at least to my best recolection). After waiting many many minutes this screen continues to stay there.

My hardware is an AMD 2400 epox-8rda3+ (newer version of 8rda w/ sata) mobo
nvidia 5900gfx card
512mb memory
non sata IDE hd's
