Hello,

Wanted to install a stable Debian version on a Vaio (PCG-GRT816S) withXPE and a netboot, I've been faced to a similar bug as #497212!


The screen turn black!

Tested with no luck :
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/20090123/images/netboot/

But it works with :
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/oldstable/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/

Is my Vaio's BIOS too old, or the install files (vesamenu.c32) corruptedin stable?
