Let's try to solve it, because I have more of simillar machines (T40, T42)
to install.

When using the lenny installer, it happened all the time. I'm not sure what
it read, because it was immediately replaced by the first screen of
the installer.

Will try when I get to the machine in the evening. Actually I think it might be
an issue with framebuffer, because IIRC, it is turned on just before starting
the installer itself.
