Issue booting from Core install CD on AMD64

I fear this may be my sketchily-supported Emu1212m sound card causing issues again.

I am unable to get the core CD to boot at all on my machine. I took a photograph of the error message (click the thumbnail below for the full image):

For the record, the Gentoo CD boots just fine, as does UbuntuStudio. In fact, I even had my sound card working under Ubuntu before a kernel update from their server killed my custom configuration of ALSA. Hence, why I'd like to switch distros.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, everyone!

Re: Issue booting from Core install CD on AMD64

Did you try using the options:

noapic acpi=off pci=routeirq nosmp

When booting? Worth a shot..

Well, I did try some different combinations, like the instructions said, before I got overwhelmed by how many combinations of 7-8 different commands there can be. Since I do have a dual-core, I would hope SMP isn't an issue. I'll give the other three a shot, and if that fails, the fourth as well, and see what happens. Thanks.

No, none of those options helped at all. It gets to that screen in the above photo, then hangs.

This is the Core install CD. I'll try the FTP install CD next, after doing an MD5 check this time.
