I originally installed 8 beta1 with the hd.img disk image (which I
understand used a 2.2 kernel) without any problems. Since the 2.4
kernel has been adapted to the install disk I have not been able to
start an install. Each time after it finishes loading the kernel, at
the stage where the frame buffer was used in the previous image file,
I get a blank screen - no disk activity, no keyboard response, unable
to reboot or open a console, even unable to communicate with the
kernel in raw keyboard mode - I have to hit the reset button. I can
still use the old install disk I created but the network card
detection and module loading fails.

Here is a hardware profile if it helps from a previous boot. I'm
currently using an ET6000 graphics card as well.
