To be specific, the system freezes while extracting ports.txz at 23% with "Overal Progress" being 29%. First I thought about the installation medium, so I re-burned the installation CD ("disc1"), tried the DVD-installation, even installing over the network - the machine always freezes when it comes to archive extraction. For the hardware part: HP Proliant DL585G5 128GB RAM 8 HDs a 146GB: two of them in Raid-1, the remainder Raid0 2x onboard LAN: (HP NC371i) 2 addon NIC-cards with 2 ports each (HP NC360T) Harddisk has been set up with GPT, for the test "automatic partitioning". Has anybody out there seen this type of problem? If yes, any known cure/hint/??? Thanks much in advance for any clue, -ewald
