I've been using Arch Linux for about a year in a VM, and it's been working great. Today, I finally try dual booting XP and Arch. I partitioned my drive using a GParted live CD, installed XP, and started the Arch installation. I got through the installation up until finishing the Configure System step.
For about three hours now, I've been on "generating glibc base locales..." There's a 0 in the top right corner, and a cursor blinking in the bottom left. In my VM, this step usually took less than five minutes. The computer I'm currently installing Arch on has an Athlon 64 3500+, so I wouldn't expect it to take that long.
Any ideas? Is it safe to reboot the computer and start the installation again?

That's probably your best option.

I rebooted, started over, and the install went fine this time. Thanks for the help.
