This problem is limited to the IDE interface on the K7T Turbo2 motherboard. The install boot option proceeded normally through timezone selection on three other systems: a Jetway V4MDMP with Athlon 2000+, a Biostar MCP6P-M2+ with Sempron 3400+, and a Biostar M7VKQ with Duron 800. It hung consistently on the K7T Turbo2 using four different brand/model CD burners and one DVD burner in addition to the original Mitsumi CD burner. I even tried installing only one of the two DIMM modules at a time in case it might be a subtle memory problem, to no effect. Finally, it succeeded on the K7T Turbo2 when I used an external USB DVD burner drive (through the painfully slow on-board USB 1.1 port). It seems to me that pretty much leaves the IDE controller, the BIOS, and/or the IDE driver as the culprit.
Perhaps we should call this a "won't fix", close it and move on.
