This could be video card issue.  I have similar issue with (old) SiS pci card.  
No distribution other than Ubuntu/Xubuntu works.  In all others I tried (SuSE 
11.1, Mandriva, Mepis, Vector Linux) I get exactly the same problem.  I can 
do installation with text mode in Vector Linux, however configuring X - even 
with lowest resolution and VGA or VESA driver results in hanging of the 
machine.

Right now, I am on Xubuntu with resolution of 640X480 (Otherwise working OK) 
and trying all that I can think of to increase the resolution (I know the 
card and monitor can do 1024X768).
