Comment 11 for bug 178896

Many thanks since I applied the below procedure and I could install
Hardy Heron 8.04. Hurrah !!!!!

It collapsed first time (black screen again), but I did it again after
switching off and it was succesfully.

Now, I have another problem : when I stop the computer and start again,
I have to apply your procedure again otherwise, I have black screen again !
It looks like whether the order acpi=off was not recorded in the programm.

Could you tell me how to arrange this problem ?
