Hi,
This seems very similar to a problem I had a few weeks ago; an install
taht went perfectly but then impossible to get anything else than a
screen of random chars blinking when trying to boot.
Haven't found the time to look more into it since then so I'd really
like it if you could let me know if you make any progress regarding
that.
Cheers,
Mathieu.
