"it show a list of drivers which i totaly unknow "

You will have to select the correct disk driver to continue with the install. Guess which one to use. If that does not work try a different one the next time.

i'm having the same problem.
i burnt boot.iso from the images directory, booted succesfully, chose the language, then it tells me to choose a driver for my hardware!
i tried all the possible drivers, i have a pentium 4 with an intel chipset, so i chose the an intel one (the only intel driver available) but it keeps asking me the same question!?
any ideas?
