I have tried to install Zeph's 10.5.2 release onto my laptop several times, and each time the installation hangs at "about a minute". I tried re-installing as per the wiki, put it still hangs in the same place. I have tried letting the install run all night, I tried using an external drive, and have tried rebooting off the the install DVD to Repair Permissions. Nothing is working. I am using an MBR setup and have named the HD using a single word.
Is there some script that runs at the end that could be messing things up? Is there some combination of Customize options that I can choose that will guarantee a complete install? Could the restore partition that comes with my laptop be interfering in some way? The install DVD recognized my internal SATA drive and I had no problem creating the partition for the install.
I do not think I am the only one having this problem. Does anyone have a fix?
