I'm trying to install SL on my AMD PC and I keep running into the same problem no matter the method used.
I have tried Empire EFI AMD and I get to the welcome screen and start the install only to have it freeze at anywhere from 20% to 75% (approximate)
I have tried the My Hack method only to freeze at around 15-25% again approximate.
I saw on the HCL 10.6.0 where this particular board requires the CXxX USB image, but I can't get it to boot after restoring it to a thumb drive. I have tried several external hard drive / thumb drive only to get the same result.
I would really appreciate any help or guidance on this issue. See below for the rest of my specs.
Asus M2N-E SLI nForce 500 Socket AM2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ Socket AM2 CPU
Corsair 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
Leadtek GeForce 8500 GT 512MB PCIe w/Dual Link DVI
250 Gb Sata HD
IDE DVD Drive
I also have an IDE HD if it would help in this situation.
