I downloaded the 5.3 release cd and successfully used it to install on my IBM T42 laptop. Today I attempted to upgrade the machine that was running 4.10 stable to 5.3 using the same cd. The install is hanging during the probe of devices right after it announces ACD1: DVDR <Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105/1.33> at ata1-slave UDMA33. The attempted install failed twice at the same point. A hard reboot of the machine is required. Mark Jacobs

Perhaps try waiting a little longer... -- Charles Ulrich Ideal Solution, LLC - http://www.idealso.com
I rebooted again tonight with verbose logging and the last messages on the console were; (probe0:sbp0:0:0:0): error 22 (probe0:sbp0:0:0:0): Unretryable Error Probe1-6 are listed after this, all with the same error 22 After the probe6 message the machine hangs. Mark Jacobs

Resolved it by setting "PNP OS" to YES in the BIOS. -- Adrian Wontroba
