RC4 installation fails

I tried _reinstalling_ eComStation 2.0 RC4. The first time the 
installation was uneventful (except that I found I could not install 
using SNAP, but had to use VGA).

The second time, however, the install failed during phase two, when 
eComCentre was created. I have tried to reinstall 8 or 9 times. Each 
time I formatted the hard drive.

I have tried various installation settings. Including no acpi, no /!bios 
for Dani's IDE driver.

I have tried various BIOS settings. All the recommended ones. And the 
ones used in desparation (including setting PnP OS to yes).

I reinstalled ECS 1.2 That installation was uneventful. I am currently 
running it.

Hardware?  If the hardware does not currently require ACPI, I would 
not install it (or even boot with it from the CD).

Thank you for your suggestions

I've had problems with phase two on two computers. I don't remember though 
if that concerned RC3 or RC4. Anyway I had to choose "do not install
APM" 
during installation. The default is "automatic". You could give it a
try.

In the first line he already stated he installed WITHOUT acpi. My opinion 
is that it has a lot has to do with the hard disk drivers and the 
partitioning. 
In my opinion only the last edition ecs20rc4 installed smoothly.
