Were you using the Live CD or the Alternate CD?  The above has happened
to me on the Live CD (multiple times, different systems etc) so now I
*only* install from the Alternate CD. Also I seem to recall an issue of
installing from the Live CD whereby it was looking for a DHCP address
and hanging if the PC was set to a fixed IP.
