2012-07-12 Thread t...@prismnet.com
I've been banging my head against this one all week. Every time I try to install Tiger (retail DVD) to a mirrored volume on an Acard 6880M, the installation stalls at some point -- it's a different point every time. After some tens of minutes, maybe an hour, a message appears Please try to
