Field Note #1 @Bettarg 2009-04-07

How long did u wait? Does the loading wheel rotate all the time ?
That is normal. i think it can take up to 5 - 10 Minutes until the installer is loaded.

When there is a real problem the wheel stops spinning and a Cross apeard.

Field Note #2 @erick2red 2009-04-07

boot with "-v" option so u can see if it stop or it just slow booting

Haven't try iDeneb. You could try let it me know the options so here we could guide you a little trough the install, also i learned that you need to install just what you need to boot, after that you could fix audio, video, and others…
