Install hangs

Are you using HDMI, dvi or d-sub (VGA)?

HI

I'm using DVI for the moment. I plan is not to use a monitor once Im sure its stable.

Hi Michael,

Hmm, because you're using DVI, it's a long shot but you could be be falling foul of the HDCP install issue where the installation cannot complete because it does not have the appropriate drivers to understand the interface. If it's DVI-I, try installing using a DVI to VGA or if it has a VGA connector on the unit, use that instead.

Not sure if this will apply to you, but it could be the culprit.

Thanks Emile

the DVI wasn't the problem but it got me on the right track.

I started disabling unused hardware ports on the motherboard one by one.

Disabling the serial port finally had the system booting.

Woohoo! Glad to have helped you diagnose your problem :)

Have fun with the XG!
