FWIW, I had the same problem, (compile would hang, no error, no message, |
| 2 |
nothing), while installing a dual AMD64 system last week. I got past it by |
| 3 |
using kernel switches to force single CPU (nosmp), and disabling the apic |
| 4 |
(noapic), during the install. Don't know for sure which switch resolved it, |
| 5 |
or if they were both needed. May not help you, but thought I'd mention it |
| 6 |
just in case. |

Actually, I'm on my third PSU I now own a dual rail, 650watt |
| 45 |
SilverStone. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
And I don't get any errors. The compile just appears to stop, but if |
| 48 |
I do "top" the thread for the compile is running at 90%. I got off the |
| 49 |
phone with Kingston and they are going to replace the ram. I hope that |
| 50 |
solves my problem. |
