Use the boot option hpet=disabled when installing from the CD.

I'm not sure if this is a bug ...

If you ever suspect that anything might be a bug - please report via the bug tracker.

I started a new wiki page, with those tips, from this bug and others:

This gets you to the install screens but in the end I couldn't install anyhow due to the fact that any usb keyboard would stop functioning once the loader started.  I haven't found a way around that either.

Also the boot option acpi=off seems to get you past the installer freezes and I don't know how that relates to the hpet=disabled option.
