Previous messages already had scrolled off the screen (because the scrolling takes place on the first line). However, I already had some experience with booting from CD (see bug report 301504), so I changed the parameter ramdisk_size to different values. I tried this numbers: 4096 --> same problem 8192 --> same problem 16384 --> OK, installer started fine 32768 --> OK, installer started fine I only tried these values, if you want me to search further (some values in between), please let me know. After that initial problem was solved, the installation went fine. Just one remark: after every 'apt-get update' I get the following message: connecting to <mirror I chose> module ipv6 relocation of symbol capable is out of range (0x3ffeffdc in 17 bits). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
