No and yes. Because the error happens in Stage 1, putting anything in
your configuration doesn't make sense. Two causes are possible:
1. Your installation is wrong.
2. Your BIOS is buggy.
I don't know which is correct, as you gave us little information about
your system and installation. If you are sure that your installation
is correct, try the CVS version. It contains an additional workaround
for a buggy BIOS. This might fix your problem.
Thanks,
