Comments/Problems:

I chanced to leny while Lenny was testing. Lenny works with kernel 2.6.25.2.
When Lenny changed to 2.6.26 installation with apt seems to work, but did not 
start. Booting stops with:
Setting console screen modes and fonts.
I have to reset the computer.

Now when Lenny is stable I tried again. The computer started with the image of 
the CD. I choose textual installation an the screen becomes black. I had to 
reset the computer.
Doing the installation in graphical mode seems to work however when booting 
the newly installed system it still hangs with 
Setting console screen modes and fonts

Because the system starts with 2.6.25 and does not start with 2.6.26 I think a 
peace of code is missing in 2.6.26 whitch is responsible for configuring the 
console.

2.6.26 hangs when when processing the script /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh and 
there when processing /usr/bin/consolechars

When I commended out processing  /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh then system 
hangs when starting X (I suggess) and has to be reseted.
