In case it would help, I took a picture of the screen where it hangs.
This is at the "Install boor record to disk" screen, where it's
supposedly going to initialize the new disk drive.

If you can't read it you can download it into a viewer. Sorry for the
tiny message on a big screen, but the installer doesn't pick readable
resolution.

media for install from DVD?
And as a side question, why would anyone create a DVD for net install,
when there is a small ISO image which does that?
I forgot to mention that FC14 installs just fine on this hardware.
Did you use this link as your torrent:
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.torrent
Did, and tried ftp, always asks for a network connection. And a few
others have reported that fc16 doesn't install without a network, based
on a question in a chat room.
Make sure you're not asking to install things from external or "extra"
repos during your install. That's the only time I can think of that
might require a network connection during an install from the DVD.
I don't get to ask to install anything, I get a pop-up on the screen
which says the install needs an active network connection, and won't
proceed without it.
