Hmm, nice :) Ok, as it happens the framebuffer udeb on alpha also includes the matroxfb modules, which are currently completely broken at least on my card -- so I can't just drop this udeb into the installer without breaking my own ability to test/install. :) But I can drop the matrox modules from the fb-modules udeb for the time being, and create an alternate udeb for later testing with. > After choosing the language, country, and keyboard type, I got a message > saying "No kernel modules were found.

Right, that's entirely possible. :-) Just knowing that the framebuffer works for you is a good test; once we get this into a real installer it should work a bit better.
