I ran into that.... Turned out to be insufficient video memory on the
video card - this was one of those 'shared memory' cheapo boxen - and it
was set to 4MB. Upping the video memory to 64 MB fixed that problem....
But yes, you are right. It is an 'appliance install' - and if it dumps,
I guess it dumps....
The thing to remember, though, is that it is basically a debian install
once it's done, so if you can find your way around debian, you should be OK.
