** 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.

Currently this occurs also with the HP 6510b and HP 2510p using Hardy - Heron 08.04 Alpha 6 Alternate install CD. Both of these modules have an + Heron 08.04 Alpha 6 Alternate install CD. Both of these systems have an Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphic Controller. + + There is a workaround. On the main menu, press "F6 Other Options", + replace "quiet --" with "fb=false" and try it. The bug seams to be with + the framebuffer, thus disabling it get the installer displayed.
