Bug#236487: Debian-installer (sarge) hangs on boot

[Marcus Jacobs <west.wallaby@gmx.net>]

Package: debian-installer
Version: sarge netinstall image, downloaded March 2004

Hello, 
When I boot from a netinstall image of sarge on my dell dimension 8250 
(chipset Intel 850E, CPU: Intel Pentium 4, 2,4 GHz, 512 MByte Ram, PC 800, 
USB 2.0), it comes to the page where I can choose the language. But I can't 
do anything, the system does not react. I don't know, whether the system 
hangs or whether just the keyboard doesn't work because there is no way I can 
check this out (At least there is no way that I know of.)
The same thing happens with the woody CD and the bf24 kernel. 
Kernel 2.2 works fine, so this may be a kernel issue?
Bye, Marcus
