I have had issues with the install media, as indicted in some posts 

that I submitted previously.

I wonder if there is a bit of a glitch in some of the install sources?

I am beyond super-neo to SL-Linux, so I am not a good person to make 
such an assumption, however the install media that I used was so outside 
the indicated installation parameters that it looked like an old 
basic-gui install, rather than what you get on fedora, or current RedHat 
EL installs.

I actually reverted to using the Security-Spin of fedora-13 for the 
development system that was intended for SL-Linux, and I have not gotten 
a chance to test the DVD-iso images that I used, via vbox, to verify my 
results. If you have another box, you can do the same, to verify that 
the installation is not system specific, in experiencing fault. (install 
vbox and install using the dvd-iso that you have burned to see if it 
still hangs while existing inside a virtuabox virtual machine.)

This is just a basic troubleshooting technique that has helped me in the 
past, when doing other development work.

A more senior SL-Linux admin will hopefully chime in and assist you further.
