yes, i think the same, others distros too fail with my bios sad , the most common "IDE lost interrupt"
but this never happened me, I don't know what to do. I can't enter to the bash shell, because i nedd hit enter and my keyboard doesn't work.

edit: i have a Intel gc11020m.86.a motherboard with ati integrated chip with a pentium D 3,2 ghz, almost all the installs distros fail with this configuration, this is the part that my keyboard don't work s5000599db7.th.jpg

I think this is a kernel misconfiguration. I had problems with a USB keyboard using a PS/2 adaptor a few years ago. Some distros' installation media did not take this into account. A few worked, though.

You could try to use a PS/2 to USB adaptor or get a USB keyboard. (Or ask the devs to change the kernel config.)

hi guys, i'm ran the arch installer with the adapter but same happened. So, i'm installed the arch from a livecd, and all ok, but at the time of initiating arch thows me the following error:

hda: dma interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
hda: dma_timer_expiry == 0x24
ide-cd-cmd 0x3 timed out

still with the options noapic and acpi=off in lilo boot it keeps on throwing the same error

Since this is a bug regarding the install cd, you should (if you have not yet) post to this thread:
