I've run into an interesting issue on my son's desktop. It's: Athlon 3200+ KV8-Max3 512MB DDR (1 x256MB, 2 x 128MB all 400Mhz) nVidia GeForce FX5600/256MB The install starts fine, but when it gets to "activating usb devices..." the system hardlocks. It does it everytime. I've disabled the onboard SATA Raid controllers. I do have a Promise IDE RAID card in it. The system has XP(fulled updated) on it and runs perfectly fine, so I'm not leaning toward a hardware issue. I've tried: 11.4/x64 - standard and safe settings 11.3/x64 - standard loads the kernel to 67% and stalls but reboots sometimes. Otherwise, it and safe settings hardlock. Knoppix 6.0.2/x32 - hardlocks after loading the kernel and resetting the video.
