I had the same problem, installing on a i845G based system. I solved it by disabling the framebuffer with this boot-param: debian-installer/framebuffer=false
I could finish the installation, but when X finally starts the screen is black again. This is no problem with bad configured hsync or vsync, i checked that. My LCD stays on, so there IS coming a video signal. But it's just completely black. It's possible to work blindly then again (logging in, hearing the welcome sound...). -- Screen goes black in instalation (Text-mode install CD) Samsung X05 - i810 graphic https://launchpad.net/bugs/41106 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
