I can confirm this. This bug may be related to bug#11602. (In reply to James Kerr from comment #1) > This bug may be related to bug#11602. Maybe, but my WAG will be a video setup problem. I just tried a boot.iso. I had characters looking like an incorrect baud rate I hit Enter, and screen went blank just like a all.rdz/vmlinuz boot. Booting the DVD, it appears default resolution is 640x480. :( Happens on my ATI Radeon HD 4870 and Radeon HD 5450 systems. I'm getting the same thing here trying to boot to isolinux. I replaced the paths in my grub menu.lst with the new paths to vmlinux and all.rdz, and booting locks up to blank screen immediately. CC:

ftg Found the problem and the workaround is to remove the vga=xxx argument. Thanks for the workaround. It fixes the bug on my testing system (nvidia).
