Alright, I got things a little more sorted out now. I was using a (really) old debian CD that I burned a while ago, sarge r1 I think. Now I got the latest amd64 sid netinstall cd from amd64.debian.net. Now debian-installer/framebuffer=false works. However, it still hangs, and looks all messed up (the Chinese characters look like little squares instead, and the menu is misaligned) I figured out that the menu comes up OK if I use 'linux vga=771' However, it still locks up solid at the menu to select a keyboard. I used DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 and BOOT_DEBUG=1, and I can see that right before it goes to the menu it has a FATAL error, but it vanishes before I can read it. The pause key doesn't work, either. I tried some other boot menu options, but nothing seems to help. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Chris
