I'm not sure if this is the same problem...

I tried Intrepid Alpha 4 but I'm still unable to use the desktop installation cd. I tried several times.
- System freezes a few seconds after x starts.
- System freezes a few seconds after x starts but I can move the mouse-cursor.
- System freezes a few seconds after x starts and the cursor moves very slow as if the system is under high load.

System is an acer Travelmate 4001lmi with ati radeon mobility 9700.

Noticeable are two more things:
picture1: Splash-Screen during first boot of alpha 4 on this machine.
picture2: Splash-Screen during the next boots (the white characters move as if they were boot-messages.
Something goes wrong with the graphic card which persists the reboot...X is displayed correctly.
