Welcome to LQ

Did you check the md5sums? Are you certain that your download is fine? I recommend burning iso files at the slowest possible speed, or at least 4x. Have you tried the disk in another machine?

Hi and thx ,
but I tested the CD in other computer
( Athlon XP 2000+ , ASROCK K7VT4A+ VIA KT400a , Soundblaster PCI 64 , ATI Radeon 9700 Pro , 768 MB Ram )
and it works fine ...

So, from what i see it freezes right about before it probes the hard disk.

Do you have a sata hard disk ?
Also, did the other computer you tested it in have an ide hard disk ?

In many boxes the kernel freezes before it probes the sata hard disk.

did you try sata.i kernel ?

No ,
I have one hard disk for testing software .
When I want to test a new linux , then I use this hard disk , it is IDE .
So try to install it on 2 computer , but it was the same hard disk ...

i have faced the same problem
and solved it choosing bareacpi.i kernel
while booting

(write it on boot screen)

boot: bareacpi.i

Good Luck
