Problems booting installation CDs
[x-posted to debian-amd64@lists.debian.org, debian-boot@lists.debian.org, debian-user@lists.debian.org]
All, sorry for the wide distribution, but I wasn't sure which list this belonged on; feel free to reply only to me, or to me and just one list. Also, I'm not subscribed, so please keep me in to "to" line.
Whenever I boot the Debian testing installation CD (haven't tried stable) it hangs at:
(process:766) INFO: kbd-mode: setting console mode to Unicode (UTF-8)
The rest of the screen is black, and this text is a few lines from the bottom of the screen. Other Linux distros (Ubuntu, Knoppix) have problems booting too. The strange thing is, Windows boots just fine, and I get the same error booting Debian's CD in Virtualbox.
I am running:

"The diversity of mankind is a basic postulate of our knowledge of human beings. But if mankind is diverse and individuated, then how can anyone propose equality as an ideal? Every year, scholars hold Conferences on Equality and call for greater equality, and no one challenges the basic tenet. But what justification can equality find in the nature of man? If each individual is unique, how else can he be made 'equal' to others than by destroying most of what is human in him and reducing human society to the mindless uniformity of the ant heap?" --Murray N. Rothbard
