I see we're using linux_input input module to handle mouse and keyboard, which is default for i386 and usually works well. To be sure linux_input is not broken on Intel Macs, could you pleas try to boot textual, then remove from /etc/directfb the two lines disabling keyboard and ps2mouse modules and instead disable linux_input module only ? If the crash should persist, we can at least say it's not because of linux_input module. Attilio -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The graphical installer didn't work. After trying several parameter combinations, I used the default text installer. To be honest, that does not completely surprise me. AFAIK the graphical installer has never been tried on Intel-based Macs yet. It is a bit strange as the graphics controller seems fairly standard. IIRC the problem is current kernel support for framebuffer; I played with that a few months ago and gave up being the laptop the only machine I have.
