see if you can continue with the installation by passing 'nomodeset' as a kernel boot paramater.
Yes, I discovered this trick a few hours ago and tried it. It worked.
Care to share how you discovered?
This does make me a bit concerned that if I need to add it permanently to grub/menu.lst that I will have poor graphics. I don't need much, but I do like fairly good resolution on my large monitors.
Since the kernel people decided we need KMS, it's far more common to need it only during installation than it is after. Video performance is usually quite bad any time it is needed with popular modern video chips, which is rarely a problem during installation, and usually is after.
Incidentally, how do I find out what resolution I'm actually running?
