The installtion process is messing with X and run into problems? Power saving issues? Have you tried to modify the bios settings? Have you tried to switch to other vts (alt+F2, alt+F3, ... or maybe ctrl+alt+F2, ctrl+alt+F3, ..)? Hopefully you will get a console there, or maybe some logs. Perhaps the installations keeps logs somewhere in the fs? -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
