Note that whatever this is, it's a kernel problem, not a problem with the installer itself. And this is not the best list to help with kernel issues. One thing you could try is booting with the framebuffer disabled (add "fb=false" or "video=vfb:off" as boot parameter). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
