I doubt it; I've run it on worse than that. I did notice on a really bad
motherboard I have at home (SiS) that it took *ages* to get past that point. I
left it overnight, when I came back it was done...

I'd try flipping consoles and run top or something to see what its doing. As
long as the system isn't hard locked, its probably still working..
