Forgot to mention. Starting the "rescue" I can go to console and do whatever the rescue stuff allows you to do. :) But since it freezes so early I also cannot find anything in the logs related to it and dunno what could I change (if anything) so I would make the system boot. Funny stuff is also that the installer also freezes my PC the second I start it. :/
