Hi ozlecz,

there goes something wrong while loading os kernel. What kind of hardware you're using ?

Some people have had this issue due to weak serial cabling. Replacing the cable usually fixed it...

Hi,
I have the same issue as shown in the picture -> I can start in live mode but have no option to install.
... I can not believe that this is a cable issue???
