I've tried also with a USB memory stick and does the same.

Did you try a different mirror when requested to select one during the installation?

Glad you got it up and running

The desktop theme is very nice!

No screen appears to select the desired mirror during installation to the point where it stops.
After the warnings messages "Software RAID not available" and "Logical Volume Manager not available" and pressing <Continue> in the two messages, theoretically should appear Partition disks screen, but instead see the message scanning disks, such as shown in the images posted above.

Just to add my adventure, I installed the "Wheezy" version. I had Squeeze installed, but did a new install over it. The desktop was very slow, it didn't show glxgears in the small window or give any fps info, blender would only show as a button, the desktop eventually became corrupt & locked me up. Tried several times, but it just acted the same. I did dl a second iso, shows a different checksum, but they are daily updates. Not sure I want to spend another 90 min to do a re-install.

Ok, if I use the vmlinux39NH kernel, MintPPC seems to work right, blender works, glxgears works, but only 120 fps. Are you guys using a different kernel?

I have 3D working Games like SuperTuxKart 0.73 OpenArena and Nexuiz runs super smooth

Congratulations. Might give it a go over the weekend.

Ken, I had the same issue until I added the additional files that Pat recommended earlier in this thread

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-vsync.conf
/etc/profile.d/radeon.sh

After that I can run glxgears at speed and 3D games like NeverPut etc without problems. I will update the installation instructions.

Your wish is my command!

The screen shot shows a DVD running while playing SuperTuxCart and browsing the Hyperion Entertainment Forums. Oh and there is a terminal window open as well.
