<div>I guess the installer uses the linux-386 image just like the installer on the Desktop ad the alternate cd? That would explain why the installer boots but yourinstalled system does not. Maybe boot your system with the install cd and use the rescue mode to chroot into your system? Then install linux-386.

<div>You probably can do this on a fresh install too, by switching consoles and chrooting into the target system after you install but just before you reboot.</div><br> </div>
