Seems like the installer has a problem with your hard drive. On what part of the installation does this error occur?

It occurs when the instalation starts

When the initial screen pops up, press <F1> to enter expert mode. Enter 'linux noapic'
If that doesn't work try acpi=off instead of noapic (or try both).
Hopefully that'll do it.

If that works you might have to add it to your lilo.conf (or menu.lst if you use grub) during post-install.

I use grub, but I think you should have something like this

Code:

image=/boot/vmlinuz
         label="linux"
         root=/dev/hda2
         initrd=/boot/initrd.img
         append="acpi=off"
         vga=788
         read-only
