Thanks! Adding "nopcmcia" to the kernel command line seems to have solved the problem with the installer getting stuck.
This makes sense since the installer seemed to get stuck when loading the "pcmcia_core" module (according to the last INFO message).

I ran into the same problem on an HP Pavilion dv8000 but was able to get through the install by booting with nopcmcia added to the kernel cmd line rather than the below. Hope it helps. Pat O'Neil
