System boots. Lots of chatter that goes by too fast to read. Doesn't
ask me any questions at all that I can see. I see a flicker of a
screen that says something like "to boot from..." then it clears and
I'm at the install screen with the nifty blue background.
I select the first option for the install. Screen clears and goes to
character type screen that tells me it's loading some kind of piix
driver. That's when I ctrl-alt-F4 over to the detail screen and watch
it try lots of combinations of ATA driver modes. Then I get dumped out
to the driver selection menu where the double-keystroke problem makes
working with the menu almost impossible.
That's really all I can tell you. If you'll tell me what to look for I
will be glad to take better notes.

Well Mike it appears the loader can't figure out which video card
you have or/and can't figure out your monitor. Do this:
When it comes up instead of a simple Enter do what it asks for a simple
text install. That should work.
