This is something that gets tested extensively so it's likely to be a
problem specific to your install.
Did you check the syslog? Are there any errors there?
Did you create your partitions big enough for the tasks you want to
install (see the installation guide [1])?
Feel free to send us the syslog of your installation if you cannot figure
out the cause of the
problem yourself. Make sure you send it compressed
(using gzip).
Cheers,
FJP
