1) How much memory does your machine have?
2) Have you done a media check on the disks?
3) Try <cntl,alt,f2> shell prompt,
4) <cntl,alt,f3> & <cntl,alt,f4> show what is happening at that moment.
This will tell you if you are having issues with your cdrom drive and
such problems. (I have had cdroms that have issues on long reads)
