Question Installer freezes


Hi. I'm having some trouble getting Debian 4 to install. It boots from the DVD ok but when I press enter at the boot options screen, it starts loading and then freezes at:

"NET: Registered protocol family 2".

I'm installing on a HP NX6125 laptop (which has an AMD Turion64 processor). Somebody on the slackware forum suggested Debian as a solid distro as I was having trouble getting slack 11 to install aswell. Btw, I have managed to get openSUSE, Sabayon & Ubuntu Feisty to install so I don't think it's a hardware problem.

... a successful debian sarge/etch installation to your computer. There are no such issues reported here suggesting (in light of previous successful installs of other distributions, and, ceteris paribus) that the problem lies with the install media.

Why not just use one of the successful installs?

I thought it might be the media too but I got it to install on my work pc no problem. Anyway, I've given up on it now and am currently battling with Slackware. Cheers anyway!

Is your drive speed fast enough? One of my computers was having all kinds of trouble with specific distros. (Debian was one) Then I installed a new drive, and presto! A perfect install!
