[SOLVED] 8.04 Installation problem

[kgriff]

I am trying to install Hardy on a homebuilt computer using the alternate CD. The installation process seems to progress fine for a while, until it gets to the ¨Detecting Hardware¨ phase. At this point, I see a progress bar on the screen, the last text I see flash up is ¨Starting PC Card Services¨, then it doesn´t progress to the next step in the install. I don´t think the hardware detection is the issue, though, because it does seem to successfully complete this step. I believe it is the step that follows that hangs up, though I don´t know what the next step is.
Anyone have any suggestions that might get me past this point in the installation?

System specs:
motherboard: Asus A7V 133
Processor: 1000 MHz Athlon
Video: ATI Radeon 9000
Audio: None
Ethernet: Some generic 10/100 thing
Promise ATA100 controller on mobo
RAM 1GB

Try the most common ones first:
noapic nolapic acpi=off pci=noacpi irqpoll pnpbios=off vga=0x317 vga=791

That took care of it. Thanks.
