Hello, Thanks for the quick reply. entering 'install video=atyfb:off' (without quotes) did make the trick. After choosing language, keyboard, It can't find the cdrom. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ lsmod indicates the cdrom driver is loaded. bug=609733 indicates that the issue with the cdrom is solved, but on my system it doesn't work. I tried all the mentioned images, in bug 609466 Best regards Otto
