if you do ALT + F1 - F6 you will see different aspects of the install one of them should have an error message.

i did that, and i got the new screen.

it starts with :

"Unable to find presistant overlay."

"Swtitching to new root"
Then all the tests comes out green with an OK.

it moves me to a black screen with a mouse pointer and a loading icon around the pointer

if i move the mouse rapidly, the mouse freezes and the rotating image stops.

if i leave the mouse where its at, eventually the loading image disapears, and then the mouse disapears.

i get a full black screen with nothing on it.
i hear a noise reduction on my dvd rom.

i have amd X2 5000+ with 2GB ram


PLEASE HELP!
