Yes.  Same here on my Asus M3A78T (AMD) motherboard.

It hung until I used Alt-Ctl-F1 Alt-Ctl-F2 Alt-Ctl-F3 etc to switch
screens. When I switched back it had managed to "unstick" itself and the
install proceeded.  The Anacondia (??) screen's blue background never
refreshed and stayed black, but I decided I could live with that as long
as the install proceeded. ;-)  I'm typing on that machine now.  There
doesn't seem to have been any lasting damage.  the real kernel seems to
work just fine.
