Still hoping someone who knows the difference between the live and
installer discs will chip in here. The kernel image on the Live disk
is vmlinuz0, but that doesn't boot the same way as the documentation
for the install disc one says. I can only guess the install disc
provides a different kernel image as substituting 'vmlinuz0 text' runs
into problems of no root="" and runs into a backtrace. That or the
documentation is wrong.
There is a low resolution graphics mode in the troubleshooting menu if
that would help at all.
You could mount the iso images of a Live CD and the Install DVD to learn the differences.
The kernel image is the same. The initrd.img are vastly different.
