The problem I've been having is that the installer freezes up right after it detects the hard drive and cd drive. I've been toggling BIOS settings for a couple hours now, and nothing seems to work. Also tried the 5.4 RC2, with the same results. Has anyone seen something similar and know of a workaround? Thanks, Brandon Curiel
