I had that problem last year with my workstation which is a Dell Optitlex 320. I succeeded a Debian installation with the use of a usb key for the installation. In the end, the only working solution was using Lilo. Grub is not functionnal at all (I didn't try Grub2). In order to boot correctly I use those options : nolapic noapic acpi=off irqpoll -- Nicolas S. aka moSaN
