Bug Description
This applies to both the debian-installer (on the alternate CD) and the Ubiquity installer on the desktop CD. I've only made note of debian-installer due to the inflexbility of launchpad.
Summary: I've tried to boot my computer with the Jaunty CDs, one alternate and another Desktop. They both fail at various spots, but early on. I can't make it through the install process and contrary to what's reported elsewhere, one can't get into a terminal to reconfigure xorg.conf.
Step tp reproduce:
1. stick in a CD, preferably while the iMac DV is running an OS.
2. reboot
3. hit the C key to boot from the CD, or wait till the bootloader and select C if you're running Gnu-Linux already (this avoids a freeze).
Results:
The computer at some early stage shuts itself off.
Expected results:
To go through the entire install process.
Hardware:
A slot loading 400 Mhz iMac DV.
Jaunty desktop and alternate CDs, stable/official releases.
