Exactly. And I bet you''re using Intel CPU :)
It''s the boot splash screen, actually, that''s causing the
problem. The
GUI installer should work just fine.

Try searching list archive for details. Some possibilites include :
- use AMD :)
- create a custom boot device (CD/USB/etc) that doesn''t display graphic
splash screen on boot
- install on qemu first, use Xen to boot it afterwards.
