At first I thought the problem was because I was using a USB to run the netinst. Then I used a CD and still had the same issue. Then I tried the netinst with firmware which also failed. I tried the live disc and it booted but the ethernet controller kept trying to connect over and over. I used a USB dongle from my laptop to install over wifi. Right now I am running that install of the 64bit system but the ethernet connection keeps failing. Just for the heck of it, i tried the 386 installation and it installs without any issues and everything works... it is just slower than the 64bit install. One other thing I noticed is that my Bluetooth mouse will not pair on the 64bit system. It pairs just fine on the 386 installation.
