Hi,

I have Hardy i386 running very well on my PC, but wanted to compare it to the AMD64 version.

I've just tried to install Hardy AMD64 from the Alternate CD, onto a backup hard-disk. It gets to the phase called "Select and install Software" (with "Please Wait..." below the progress bar), saying 90%, then seems to just stay there. I can Alt-F2 to another shell and enter commands, so the PC hasn't hung. However, I left the installation for 30min and nothing seemed to be happening - no CDROM access and no HDD activity.

My hardware:
- AMD X2 4400+
- NForce 4 motherboard
- 2Gb DDR-400
- DVDRW
- 80Gb Seagate SATA300 HDD
- 512Mb 8800GT
- X-Fi XtremeMusic
- Corsair 450W PSU

Any ideas, please?
:confused:

Same problem here, but at 6% what should I do?

Burn a new CD after md5sum on the iso. Burn at 4x or less. Do not use CD-RW, check CD integrity before install. Clean the lens in your burner just in case.
