Without knowing the exact stop error message that is being generated, we
can't be certain, but the most common cause we've seen is a bad SATA/RAID
driver. The drivers are loaded differently during the initial text mode
install than wen that first GUI stage kicks in, and we have seen problems.
Go to ASUS and download the latest drivers for your SATA controller, or to
the controller's own web site, or to www.planetamd64.com. Copy the drvdsk
folder to a formatted floppy, and insert that floppy during initial
installation when you see the Press F6 notice.
