Hi,

I'm trying to install 5.0.1, amd64 to an MSI motherboard with and Athlon 64
processor.  I get as far as installing the base system, then at 27%,
"extracting login" the system hangs.  Any thoughts?

The iso image passed and md5 check sum, and I tried burning it three times,
so I'm pretty sure there are no problems with the installation media.

Any suggestions as to the cause or how to work around it will be greatly
appreciated.


Thanks,

g

Please state your hardware specs.

Could be a hard drive failure?
Memory failure?

Do a memory test, and check your hard drive using any tool you may have.

Also try using a live CD to disgard any issue with hardware compability.
