I just thought of something, what options do you have changed from 
defaults in the bios, specifically related to video card stuff. i think 
i tweaked a few things for performance, and think it might be a cause of 
my problem, since the hang is right before the graphical install stuff. 
i will try text install tomorrow to test this theory.
