Field Note #1 @lflashl 2009-12-27

the second link → work fine for me, and i thnk its the best! try removing 2gigs of memory, and maybe using another video card to install, i have a GTX 260+ and have to use my old nvidia 6200 to install. try this, and it may help.

Field Note #2 @boomerx01 2010-02-06

I am having a similar problem. Using boot 132 method to installer fails to load and I get a blank screen. I swapped memory banks, went from 4 to 2gb, and it didnt help.

Any suggestions?
