Dear Linux Mentors:

Please help with this issue.  Compaq Presario 1516US laptop hangs at Partition

 Thank you.

Have you tried when installing typing:

linux ide=nodma

at the boot prompt and then installing. I have had a few problems with hangs at this stage and this has solved all of them. Do not forget that if this works you should enter this as a command to pass to the kernel when requested during the install.

Kind regards
Xander
