Description:
System crashing in the "updating Initramfs" step of the installation process.

Video of the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvtCvBD4H-k

Target system: acer aspire one 522 (amd c50)

The interesting bit is this happening both in archlinux and debian, it could be a kernel bug.
This task depends upon

Mmm you,re correct, I messed the videos, that is debian install.

But Finally found the problem. During the installation, cpu fan is not working at all, and because of that, in the cpu intensive task of making an initrd image the cpu just shut downs.

This happens in both arch and debian installs.

Im installing it right now by holding the netbook out of the window! I hope that after reboot cpu fan will start working.
