Ok, some updates: I downloaded 8.0-BETA2 ISO and the result was exactly the same, i.e., system freezes during CD boot in the same point as before. Thi= s time I did not actually tried to install the CD on a virtual machine, but I= can not believe it is a problem with the CD image ;-) This time I disabled _everything_ I could disable in my BIOS and selected several options from the boot manager: the default option, the option with = ACPI disabled, the option "safe-mode" (or something like that...) and finally th= e "verbose" option, which gave me some more information. Here's the last mes= sages I see in the console before freeze: start_init: trying /sbin/init start_init: trying /sbin/oinit start_init: trying /sbin/init.bak start_init: trying /rescue/init start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall And that's all. Any ideas? :-( Regards, Miguel
