OK. In that case there are several things to try 1) Boot the installer with 'install DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text'. This will give you the text frontend and any kernel errors should then at least be displayed even if the system freezes. 2) Boot the installer with 'install b44.blacklist=yes'. This will block the kernel from loading the driver for your network card. If that fixes the hang, we know that it's a kernel issue. If that does not work, we could try blacklisting some other modules (firewire or wireless maybe). Note that we will be switching to a 2.6.24 kernel soon for the installer, so it may be good to try again then.
