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.

taking out the wireless card did not help, but i ran the installer with
'linux noprobe' and it worked. i had to specify the nvidia sata drivers,
and it already recognized the onboard lan. however, after
install(everything went fine), when i reboot, and it tries to initialize
hardware, it gets to audio and hangs. are there any known problems with
the onboard sound for this board?
