Freeze during installation

Hello,

When I try to install arch (booting from an USB drive), it freezes and I got these messages after selecting the first option :

I've got a Gigabyte Windforce AMD R9 290X as my graphic card.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Re: Freeze during installation

Did you check the checksum of the iso before you wrote it to the flash drive?  Did it complete the write?

Re: Freeze during installation

Ok I solved the problem.
The iso was OK, checksum and all were good.

The problem was with the secondary SATA controller my DVD burner was plugged in which doesn't support some commands and made the kernel freeze...
I plugged the DVD burner on an other SATA port and it worked perfectly !

Thanks anyway.
