do you have a APIC (not acpi) toggle in your bios?
If so try turning it off while booting
Comment 2 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-11-12 07:36:00 UTC 
closing due to lack of feedback
Comment 3 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-25 11:24:51 UTC 
Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
