hmm, tried 'linux acpi=off' instead of default enter and that didnt
work, i did write down how far it got though, it gets to the line:
running /sbin/loader which is the first line after it says: running install
any other suggestions?
any chance the multiple cd version or the non-64 DVD version would work
better/differently?

I had the same issue (same config as you) - adding a acpi=off fixed it for
me...
