System hangs while installing Version 3.3

[Sunil Bhave <bhave13@yahoo.com>]

System Coniguration :
Pentium 4, 512 mb RAM, 80 GB harddisk...so I dont have
limited resource issues.

Have tried the default, vanilla and compact options 
With the same result...

The list of messages which show up are as follows,
with only the last few lines listed here..

PCI_IDE : unknown IDE controller on PCI bus 00 device
f0 VID=8086, DID=266f

Please let me know if any further info is required 

BTW, PnP is set to 'Off' in the BIOS.
Thanks
