Hi

I had similar issue with this but got it installed with Vanilla kernel, ACPI Fix, ACHI FIX and ICHx fix on the fix selection and it boots in nicely.

Please give it a try.

BTW, check you bios if your sleep mode is set to S1. I tried S3 and it just hangs there like your case.

Another problem could be due to your DVD that you have burnt is not reading properly.

Try to monitor the bar on installation. If there is a big jump on the installation progress bar, try to use another DVD to install it. I had burnt 10 pcs of these DVD at 1X before I could successfully install it.

Good luck trying.
