I am trying to install aptosid 3.1-6.slh.1-aptosid-amd64 KDE from cd on an uncooperative computer. It WILL NOT boot unless I add 'nomodeset' to 'boot options' line. (same cd works normally on other rigs)

What am I doing wrong?

Your issue is video card specific. please post the output from `infobash -v3` for further assistance.
