Have you tried with failsafe option on the install CD startup? It should remove the more 'dangerous' features of the installation kernel. If that works, it will be a case of isolating the option that's causing the hang from the others. My (installed) failsafe option look like this. kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=normal showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume selinux=0 nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off 3 If you want to see the full list of parameters, take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. There are quite a few!
