no one ?
I am a bit desperate here -
It doesn't look frozen. It looks like it is waiting you you to type "y" or "N".
-
I isnt responding wheb i type y or n ?
And the marker in the bottom isnt Bincking?But the whole system aint frozen i can choose settings in the start but not there ?

It's only showing one valid interface. How many NICs do you have?
Try booting without any network cables attached.Steve
-
I am trying to install it with only one internetcard just to test the system
i have tried to install it without the cable and moved around on the usb cabls aswell, and tried without a hdd in the sata 300 port

Are you using a serial console? Your screenshot looks suspiciously like a vga console. :-\
If not use the standard memstick image not memstick-serial.
Edit: That board doesn't have a serial port, use the standard image. :)

i am using amd64-bit ->Live cd with installer (on usb memstick)-> and then serial :D i am gonna give it a try again :D

i think it is my keyboard there is the issue here.
it is a logitech g510 and i can see other have the same problem as me -_- -
So that is a serial console in your screenshot? The board you are using doesn't have a serial port, how are you connecting to the serial console. ??? The physical keyboard shouldn't make any difference as long as it's supported by whatever OS you're running the terminal emulator in.
It still seems likely to me that you have used the wrong image.Steve

my mistake :S
it is a vga img i am using.
but i have the exact same problem as this guy

so i am trying to find another keyboard -
Just get the correct image and all will be fine ;)

He could still have an incompatible keyboard though. ;)
That keyboard has built in USB audio and a screen! It probably has a USB hub in it.Steve

i am using the vga memstick .img how could that be wrong??
-
It's not wrong. It looks like there really is an issue with your keyboard from that link you posted. Try a more basic keyboard.

yeah, i've read through the whole topic and you're right.
I think a 5€ keyb will do the trick :) -

Can you not borrow one for a test? You only really need the keyboard for the initial setup, though it's obviously best to have one in case you need to use the console.
