** Description changed:

  The x86 as well as the AMD64 alternate installation CD stops booting
  immediately after the kernel is being loaded (when switching the
  screen). So if I remove "quiet" from the kernel parameters, I see all
  the kernel messages, but immediately after that the screen goes black.
  The system only responds to Ctrl-Alt-Del works, terminal windows are not
  active.
  
  I tried several "typical" laptop kernel parameters but that did not
  help.
  
  The problem exists for the Beta CD set as well the following daily
  builds. I had no problem with the daily builds before September 24,
  2007. Installed systems seem also still to work, also the LiveCD does
  boot (well at least until Gnome gets started, but this is another bug).
  
  I guess it might be related to a problem with the initrd and/or the
  framebuffer.  Media are ok as I tested them on a different system
  without this problem.
  
  Funny thing is: When I ask for the CD being tested, that seems to work,
  there is some HD/CD-activity. However, the screen also remains black.

  Description modified by Hans Deragon, to reflect current status.
  
  Currently this occurs also with the HP 6510b and HP 2510p using Hardy
