Hello everyone,

I am trying to install planetlab nodes. I have downloaded the bootcd
image for our nodes generated by planet lab when I entered the details
of the nodes. But I am facing a problem that installation halts by
giving the message
"Probing PCI hardware (bus 00)"

So, I disabled the PCi hardware by setting "PCI=nommconf" or
"acpi=off". But in this case it does not install the network card and
hence is not able to contact planet lab server.

My mother board spec are as following which has built in network card.
Please do tell if anyone have faced such problem before
