new user, trying the trial, locked at loading initrd :(

CommIT
hello,
I am trying the trial software to hopefully setup a mail firewall. But... install seems to hang at "loading initrd".  Ive let it run for and hour then overnight and still not completion or even error messages.

Hardware is IBM ThinkCentre S51 P4 3GHz  1GB RAM.

Hate to cut short my try of Astaro but I need some suggestions from you more experienced users..

    Also, press Alt-F1, Alt-F2 and Alt-F3 to get the different startup logs during the boot and installation.

    Cheers - Bob

    well I looked in the bios and no mention of recovery options. I removed the HD and deleted the main and recovery partitions. Restarted the install and its been at least two hours with the "loading initrd" still seamingly stuck..  BAlfson I tried the Alt key options and nothing changes...

    time to try on another machine perhaps....

    Hi CommIT,

    does it hang while booting the installation CD or does it hang after having successfully installed the software?

    BTW, you can also try the ASG V8 beta, where we have a massivly improved hardware detection and newer drivers. maybe that helps, 
    Gert
