I am a bit confused by the description. By "installation mode" are you
referring to the GRUB menu entires ? I am assuming so in which case it's
dying(panic'ing) very early during boot. I would suggest the following:
1. Select the entry that refers to the "text console".
2. Edit that entry by typing e
At this point you presented with the detailed entries which look like
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B livemode=text
module /boot/x86.microroot
edit the "kernel$" line by typing e.
and append a -k
so the line looks like:
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -B livemode=text -k
Type "enter" and then a "b" to boot the CD.
When the system fails it will drop you into the debugger and that will provide
us with more information.
