Add acpi=off to the boot options. Seems to fix that problem on many
systems.
cause kernel panic on mine :)
the thing is - when i get the installer to come up , the
black page with the red debian swirl, the wireless combo works but it
stops....
wait, it worked this time!
let's see if DHCP does... nope.
so, which module do i need to load? the thing is, when debian reboots without network it hangs on open_socket.
i'm hoping to open a virtual console before the istaller reboots and add the network module manually. should work, no?

Also the option of changing the legacy usb support option in the bios
sometimes helps. Some systems prefer it on, some prefer it off.
