Field Note #1 @Ali C. 2009-06-06

Dunno if it makes a difference with non-Voodoo Intel setups, but try booting with -legacy and reloading the installer.
My guess it you're using Vanilla kernel. Perhaps you have a bad driver for something.

Author Update #1 @macwars 2009-06-08 ↳ Re: @Ali C.

Hi! I'm using the Chameleon Bootloader and yes, i think it must be a bad driver because on big Downloads like the 1GB Garage Band Update the same happens.
Any suggestions?
