I thought only windows could freeze? Well I just got the 9.2 install cds off of bit torrent and I reinstalled it over my 9.2 rc partition. The installation when fine but when the system starts up it freezes. When it gets to 'checking for new hardware' it just sits there with the floppy light on. it won't respond. I have the NF7-S v2 mobo with xp2500 with 512 ram, ati 9800 pro with an 80 gig WD. So whats up?

CF card reader, Zip drive, or other devices attached ???

Nope. What is a cf card reader? I have 1 dvd drive and 1 cdrw drive and 1 floppy drive. No pci devices. Could it be my slight overclock? I have my xp2500 (1.87 ghz) running at xp3200 speeds (2.03ghz) I acually have it pretty relaxed right now compaired to what I usually have it at (2.5-2.6 ghz). I will try putting it at stock. Never had trouble before with 9.1 and the 9.2 RC2 or red hat linux.

Either remove the disk if you have one in or put a formated floppy in if you don't have one in. After you get in you can turn off the search for new hardware thing. Or just turn off supermount it could be giving you trouble.

Well I turned my overclock down and that helped. But now X server won't start. It gives me crap about not being able to find a screen. I bet there is some video driver installation I am missing here...
