Setup failing at 91%

[Nicholas Pappas]

	Well, first off -- sorry to all the people I replied directly to 
e-mail.  I didn't notice the "reply-to" field for the list.  Sorry.
	I'm still having trouble with the install though.

	I tried Doug's suggestion of burning the disk at a slower speed (did it 
at 8x), but not joy.  Install still locked at 91% during the hardware 
detection.
	I looked at my BIOS, per Wallijonn's suggestion, but it will not let me 
turn off ACPI.  I can alter the suspend behaviour, but the option to 
actually turn it off is not selectable.
	I then download the latest Hoary image to try that, thank you for the 
link Tom.  This doesn't even get into the setup screen!  The boot 
sequence sees my hard drive (SATA) and any USB devices then just sits 
there. :(
	I've tried unplugging all but my USB mouse.  I've tried unplugging even 
the mouse.

	Is there an alternate way to install Ubuntu, such as a bootstrap 
method?  I am using Gentoo at the moment and had to boot using Knoppix, 
then install the system from there when I set things up before.  Is 
there a similar way to get Ubuntu going?

	Thanks!
