Hi
Can't help with your problem but to get the dmesg I'd do something like this:
1. Drop to a shell in the installer (I think it is type in "!")
2. Plug in a fat32-formatted usb and note its device name, say sd1
3. cd to /dev and do chmod +x MAKEDEV
4. run ./MAKEDEV sd1 to create the device files.
5. mount_msdos /dev/sd1i /mnt2 (create the directory if necessary)
6. cat dmesg > /mnt2 and post it in.
Notes: The ramdisk is small so _don't_ do MAKEDEV all
None system partitions always start from the letter i
Good Luck
