I'm not sure what you mean here. Does the installer crash, or is he unable 
to boot the system after the installation is completed successfully.

If the latter is the case, adding kernel option "noathlon" might help. I 
don't know the exact details about the cause of the problem, but it has 
something to do with some main boards enabling unstable (experimental) 
features of the Athlon processor. We've seen this on some, but not all, of 
our Abit KT7 boards (some revisions have the problem, some don't.)

This won't happen on Red Hat 7.1 simply because there is no Athlon 
optimised kernel included.
