So I understand that the installation is trying to figure out where the CD-ROM and HDD is, but I am not able to get to the point after choosing the location of the CD in the installation process. Right after I choose it,
it scans the CD, then as you have said it looks for the HDD. But when it begins that process, it gets Error 22 while getting fs type.

The motherboard only supports SATA, but has options such as compatibility mode and enhanced mode. Only in compatibility mode is it able to detect the CD-ROM when I enter installation, it does not detect the CD-ROM in the installation process for any other mode. So the bios is setup to have both CD-ROM and HDD in compatibility mode.

I have also noticed that the %disk output on the device output(before pressing "Enter" to begin installation) shows the following:

%disk 0x01F0-0x01F7 14 - type=W0 unit=0 cyls=9964 hds-255 secs=63

I've compared that output with the 5.0.7 pre-installation output, and the cyls seem to be completely different as well, it being cyls=16709.

Not sure if that matters though.
