Meanwhile, I found a soltuion to my own question: Once the bootloader has started, hit "h" followed by the return key to enter the "help screen" which also switches isolinux out of graphics mode into plain good old text-mode. Then, enter "install vga=normal fb=false" to launch the installer in good old plain text mode. It is not enough to pass "fb=false", "vga=normal" is also necessary to have qemu -curses work together with d-i. -- CYa, ⡍⠁⠗⠊⠕ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
