Freeze in 5.3 Release Install

[Mark Jacobs]

I downloaded the 5.3 release cd and successfully used it to install on my IBM 
T42 laptop.

Today I attempted to upgrade the machine that was running 4.10 stable to 5.3 
using the same cd. The install is hanging during the probe of devices right 
after it announces ACD1: DVDR <Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-105/1.33> at ata1-slave 
UDMA33.

The attempted install failed twice at the same point. A hard reboot of the 
machine is required.
