Thx for the hint, but that doesn´t fix the problem. When go into edit 
mode I can see that the parameter acpi=off is in "486 failsave" already 
included, and in falsave mode it crashes, too.

Meanwhile i tried other distributions:

LinuxMint doesn´t install, freezes somewhere.

I have an Gparted CD with somewhat Linux, this starts without a problem 
into the Linux-GUI.
