For me, pci=nomsi also works with the normal Desktop AMD64 cd. With this option, I can install and run HH without any problems.

The problem seems to be an incompatibility with certain IDE/RAID/SATA chips (when BusyBox pops up, it is most likely that the boot process failed because it couldn't find the CD-ROM you're booting from). Before loading busybox, it tries to read from my floppy drive (with no disk in it, ofcourse). After loading the kernel ("Kernel Alive") there is no activity on the harddisks nor on the cd drive, and then busybox pops up. Are you experiencing the same symptoms? I did this with 100% MD5 verified media, burned at 4,0x.

I am using a MSI K9A Platinum with ATI SB600 IDE/RAID/SATA controller (southbridge). I'm using a Pioneer IDE DVD-burner to boot the cd.

Please reply: what kind of motherboard and IDE/RAID/SATA controller are you using? Are you using a IDE or SATA cd/dvd device? It might be a specific chipset or hardware problem.
