Cool that this worked for you. I've added a little note on this in the FAQ 
for the Installer [1].

However, IMHO this looks more like a good workaround rather than a real 
solution. I guess eventually the kernel should also be able to handle the 
cables being connected to the nVIDIA connectors.

Questions:
- Can you also install using the 2.4 kernel with this solution?
- Do you have Windows installed and, if so, can you still boot that after
  swapping the cables?
