That looks a lot like what my screen shows when Xorg tries to start,
except the whole computer locks up and becomes unresponsive.

Thanks for the info. All of the consoles are blank, except the Alt-F4
which shows this:

I can get the pretty green blocks to change configuration by pressing
Fn+F1-F4, but nothing else changes the screens. Also, the
three-fingered salute still works.
The fan is usually going pretty hard by this time, but it actually
increases speed at this point.

Hi Lakin,
have you tried pressing Alt-F2 to see if you have access to a
console terminal? If so, check the output of ps to see where the
installer hangs. Then you should be able to kill -TERM the hanged
process (tipically this will be a bash script).
Cheers,
Celso

Subject: Flight-4 install
This is just a heads up to report that Flight-4 doesn't install
onto my Acer
Ferrari 4005. Flight-3 installed just fine. I'm not yet certain
where the
install fails, as I'm not sure where to look. it fails somewhere
in the
middle of installing packages in the step after installing the
base system.
Somewhere in the 80% range. At that point, it switches to a black
console
screen with a blinking cursor and does nothing ... up to about 20
minutes,
which is the longest I waited. The install CD passes the
integrity check.
At this point, I'm uncertain of where else to find information
regarding the
install, so I'm going to download and try the daily-iso's to see
if anything
has changed. Although, if someone gives me some pointers as to the
information needed to fix this problem, then I'll poke around.
