Glad to hear you got the system running. However, that does not solve the
issue with the installation. We can now either close this report or
investigate it further. If we want to investigate it further, we'll need
additional info from you.
You did not mention a kernel oops anymore. Does that mean that it did not
happen when you tried again, or did you just not copy the info from it?
One other thing you could do is try the installer in the text mode. Boot
with 'expert DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text'.
And try without framebuffer: 'expert DEBIAN_FRONTEND=text fb=false'.
Again, if you're not willing to provide additional info, this issue is dead
for us.
Cheers,
FJP
