Installation Hangs Installing Asterisk FreePBX Web Interface

1

I’ve been trying to install the Distro for 2 days now. I’ve tried different hardware (Dell r710, Dell 2870), multiple ISOs burned on different disks, all 4 current stable versions (32 bit and 64 bit) on the downloads page, and no luck.

Every time it hangs on 66% complete.
Packages completed: 439 of 545
Installing freepbx-13.0.151.-1.shmz65.1.48.noarch (206 MB)
Asterisk FreePBX Web Interface

I even let it sit overnight just to make sure I wasn’t being impatent.

Looking at the log /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log shows similar errors each time:
…

Any ideas how I can get the install to work?

Thanks,

Make a new installation and plug a network cable with access to internet to your box.

Both boxes were connected to internet during install on a 20 Mbps dedicated fiber connection.

Thanks for that comment; you put me on the right track.

I tried one more time using a DSL connection, and viola - it worked! Not sure what the issue was since I confirmed I was able to reach the internet on both connections. Maybe a firewall or switch issue, as switching connections eliminated both.
