               Hi,

Does this report ring a bell here?  I didn't check, but the image should
carry an isohybridized 4.02 version of isolinux.  The working (lenny)
version is 3.71.

Thanks,
Feri.

Boot method: USB key
Image version: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
Date: Nov 21. 2010, 13:40

Machine: Sony vaio Z12C5E
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
Memory: 8Gb

Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): [see http://bugs.debian.org/604245]

During boot, the syslinux menu appears (install, Graphical install,
etc.), but doesn't respond to any key press, hence can not even boot
the install kernel.

Copying the initrd.gz and linux files from the above image to a lenny
image (http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/installer-amd64/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz)
allows the install kernel to boot and complete the installation of squeeze.
