b7 Install dies/locks-up at 33%

As a user I've seen this before, MD5 sum check. Question did you get it in Live Mode, did this lock-up occur only during installation, did you create 2 or more partitions, if so, what filesystem type are you using ext3 or reiserfs.
Let Warren know.

MD5 is OK, worked OK in live mode both in and out of Beryl, Multiple partitions, 1 Fat32, 1 - / root, 1 - /home, and 1 -swap. root & home as ext 3, on an 80 gig WD drive.

Anyway just for the record my md5 for SimplyMepis X86_64
Beta 7 is :

c50b00ad045493b17ecce3ccf151897b

And so far since Beta4 I can say things have gone pretty smooth for installation.

Did you unmount all partitions prior to beginning the installation?

My occupation?
Well, computer geek-stuff, mostly. I could tell you all about it; but, then I would have to delete you.

First, can you test the memory of your PC, use testmem utility from GRUB menu (it will take a bit). By the way, how much memory do you have?

I understand you run auto-install, right? Can you try to partition with QTParted and install using custom install to see if that works?

Thanks scorptig, EnigmaOne & AdrianTM,

I'll give all you've suggested a try, at the moment I'm looking for a hardware error in either my system RAM (512) or video RAM (128).

I'll get back to you soon.
