Which board you got?
I've got the Gigabyte GA-M750SLI-DS4
I've tried doing a new install onto my 250GB IDE PATA sdb. It hung during the formatting of one of the LVs. Since it seems that 4GB is an issue, I went ahead and removed one 2GB stick and tried it again. It hung at the same point. I was using that as a test before trying it on the existing system. As far as I know all hdwe is supported. Of course the HDDs were already being used. The install even recognized my new USB wireless trackball.
