You don't need to post the whole thing. I was hoping the unresolved symbols was due to a lacking module in the installer image. In /tmp/Xconf, is Driver r128 or fbdev? You could fall back to text install for now, it needs to be tested too. I did a few here, and there is package selection now, so that's a plus :) I keep saying I need to either buy a r128 card or a machine with r128 since it seems to be such a problem child, but given the current state of things, I'm afraid to spend money on anything but essentials (rent, food, utilities).
