I had a similar problem with a highpoint IDE 133 Raid card... CentOS found the card fine and let me setup everything but would hang right near the end. It did the same thing in 2 machines because I thought maybe the problem was the MB. I even tried different HDs but nope, it was the HP Raid card. Swapped in a Maxtor (Promise) and all was fine. I know these aren't "real" raid cards like the 3ware but they work on home file servers real well.

Since this is just for burn in and testing, I use the default partitions that are suggested and it formats root just fine and then hangs about 90% of the way through /boot....every time on more than one machine. :-(
try installing in text mode. Keep an eye on vc#3 and vc#4 for whats going on...
I'll have to give that a try. I popped in both a SI3112 card and a 3Ware 8006LP card and both worked without incident so there's something odd about the HT1000 driver, I suspect. It's really wierd that it would crash at exactly the same point on multiple machines.
