The screen works fine - I get all the way through the install and first reboot OK. I can run stuff on it by pressing alt-f2 and loggin in as root, but as soon as I start the debian config thing (which is stating automatically on the first run) it locks solid. The cursor stops flashing, and the screen dispalyed the last thing it displayed which is the dialog box with the <OK> in it at the bottom. Nothing I can type on the keyboard does anyting. The only thing that works is the power switch at the back. I've tried rebootin it and it always locks up at the same point. One oddity is that during the reboot, when fscking manually in single-user mode, Control-D doesn't work, just beeps and I have to type 'exit' to get out of the shell to get it to carry on - I suspect thats just maybe the keyboard driver not being loaded at that point though and nothing to do with this - when it's booted and I Alt-F2 to get into a new virtual contole, it's working just fine. (I even tried running /usr/sbin/base-config afterlogging on on a 2nd virtual console and it still locked up... Thanks, Gordon
