When I unplug it, the system boots.
Strange ... AFAIK installs the netinst CD the same kernel, as the kernel that is used during the install. In other words: I have no explaination what causes the failed boot. (with other media as netinst, I would have culpritt the new kernel.) > Now the question is: How to boot with the card plugged in? That is question is now back on the mailinglist.
