that is nice to hear, but please note that i never got further than installer showing these 2 lines about loading kernel and initrd. I never got to see any installer screen. I did not try to get a shell then, i expect that would not have been possible. Installer failing suggests that d-i is calling a bios routine there. I expect that this also would need to be fixed, i hope this is not hard, maybe code is in woody's bootfloppies allready. have fun, Siward
