Not long after that, the screen seems to switch blank just a second and turns back. After that, the system locks up. (Can't even do "Stop + A") I never got the etch version to work with all the releases mentioned on the URL. Even a daily build from another URL has the same problem. Also tried "framebuffer=true", but doesn't help. The machine has only 1 videocard (it's the onboard one). Netbooting "Debian Sarge" boots just fine. Hopefully this is the correct address to submit this bug. Thanks in advance. Yours sincerely, Erik van der Kolk
