Can you provide the output of "show conf" from the SRM console, please? FWIW, I suspect there may be some sort of problem with your graphics card (like its an usupported TGA card showing a new failure mode). I suggest you try to insall using a serial console (96008N1, disconnect keyboard and power-cycle box to redirct console to serial port).
