Installation of Lenny on ESX Server 2.5.3 fails



Hello List,

I try to set up an Debian Lenny (5.0.1 netinst) in a virtual machine hosted
on VMware ESX Server 2.5.3.

After power on the boot menu is coming up fine (Install, Graphical
Install,...).
After I've selected the installation method, vmlinuz & initrd is loading ...
REBOOT!

Sometimes I can see some characters but reboot comes too fast to read the
message.
Maybe, it could be something with "...PCI..."


Is there a way to pause the installer after error's?
Is this a known Problem?

I've tried graphical and text installation, fb=false, vga=771, noapic,
nolapic, acpi=off without any success.


Thank you & Regards...
