The install locks up the system only on the Western Digital WDC AC24300 drive. Various utilities report that there are no errors on that drive, though the "Disk Minder" utility whines about the boot loader not being present even though Grub works just fine. If I temporarily take the WD drive out and switch the Fujitsu to be the master drive, the install will not lock the system up, but, that is not the drive I want to install on...
