Any suggustions?
Have you tested if the download was 100% ok? try using md5sum to verify Greetings,
Yes, I forgot to mention that I used the CD to install my laptop so I know it works. Also, I just installed Gentoo on the PC so I know everything works there too. I'm just not sure how to debug this. I'm sure this install CD isn't happy with some hardware I have.

Hi Jack Have you tried with failsafe option on the install CD startup? It should remove the more 'dangerous' features of the installation kernel. If that works, it will be a case of isolating the option that's causing the hang from the others. My (installed) failsafe option look like this. kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 vga=normal showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off noresume selinux=0 nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 edd=off 3 If you want to see the full list of parameters, take a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt. There are quite a few! Good luck Pete
