Hi Martin,
Thanks for the useful suggestions.
However I am not to retry now, as the version suggested by Ken
is acceptable.

Hello,
still not a very detailed description.
In the case you described I recommend a user to first install OI to disc in
text mode or vesa mode and to then nail down what actually happens.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log or /var/adm/messages would be the first places to look.
Non-HDD case (and generally) : As for how to get hold of these in case of a
"non-booting" (sigh, what? why? until which pint?) CD/DVD or USB you already
named the most fitting possibilibiets:
(using a
live-CD, copying some file to a fat-formatted USB key or
through the network, etc.)
As I suggest every time here on this very list: Boot to single user, start sshd
manually, check which ip address gets assigned.
Then ^d and continue the boot.
After impact (or also before) you can ssh into jack:jack@your-ip and watch what
happened.
Good luck and I'm back not before 2am next month ;)
best regards,

Why? Where? When? How? Backtrace?
This is the kind of things I have no knowledge as to how to
get more information about. I am not a system developer.
After I installed the driver, I could not boot any more, and
I had to restore the system from the backup. I do not remember
whether I could boot in single user mode.
I might retry, but you have to tell me how to extract the
data you want from a computer which does not boot (using a
live-CD, copying some file to a fat-formatted USB key or
through the network, etc.)
