no idea's

have you tried any of the other boot kernels on your laptop during boot? (You can press F1 when prompted to see a listing of them)  Sounds like you may need to use a different boot kernel.

Another possibility is disabling ACPI in your bios.  Should be easy enough to test anyway.

HTH!

Look up Cait on our members list and then look at her posts she has worked some real miracles with her Toshiba laptop that may help you out

Hi There,

I had a very similar issue installing 5.8 Standard. I fixed it by properly partitioning the hard drive with cfdisk.

If the root partition does not have enough space to install the OS then it will hang the install.

I endured 10+ hung install before I figured this out.

Request to the maintainers...please work on a more user friendly installer.
