I'm having a similar problem except that the box *had* mandrake 10.0 on it I reformatted the drive (don't ask) and tried to install 10.1 the install terminatesafter i hit enter to install also i lose any input to the screen
Aron, The problem is connected to Plug'n'Pray/APIC/ACPI. Try turning them on/off one at a time and restart the install. Also try using the "F1" option instead of hitting ENTER, then at the prompt, type this;
linux noapic nolapic <ENTER>
Try that each time you make one change to the BIOS settings I mentioned above until it starts the installer normally.
