I let the intaller load for about 15 minutes and gave up. I guess I could leave it running all day and see what it gives me. I booted with -v but this happens after that goes away and before the gui loads so i assume it is loading but it acts like it is doing nothing, no hard drive spinup, dvd spinup, notta.

Specs: Toshiba A215-7422

ATI x1200 integrated

160gb harddrive Sata/Pata (for some reason it claims it uses both)
