Hi,
Been there, done that (and not just on PPC).
When I find the installer stuck, I run ps -ef f which shows graphically
the process tree. Typically, the one that is indented the most is the one
that is hung, then I run kill -15 $PID_of_offender (PID is normally the
second column).

sergio,
you minght not have installed any Xserver or desktop environment packages -

Jason,
Are you using expert mode? If not, it allows you to more closely observe
what each stage in the install is. Is it detecting the hard drives but not
allowing you to partition them, or not detecting the hard drives at all?

That model used an ATI video card, so you might try video=atyfb.

Ah, BootX. This sounds creepily familiar. My guess on where to start is asking
