I reinstalled linux again cause KDE did this. But I now i have it installed and i have an amd64 install. I have installed Gnome-Light. I have an ATI Radeon X300SE. The latest ATI drivers. I just ono what could be the reason but it was complaining about adding kuraikumo to /etc/hosts and I did 127.0.0.1 kuraikumo so iono what could be the issue?

It might be that it wants you to add the native host name for the other interfaces the computer is on.

Eg. 192.168.0.1 blah

No that has nothing to do with freezing, hehe you didn't mention anything about your X freezing. What actually happens maybe you can post your errors or X log.

Is the hanging happening when you boot off the livecd or when you booting your own install?

It seems to be an issue with your ati-drivers. Have you loaded fglrx already?

Exactly the same problem here, with my laptop (ATI Radeon 64Mb x300), except I'm using the kernel drivers for th ATI card.

I can post config tomorrow when I get to work and can have both comps on the network at the same time.
