Unhappy RC2 on x86-64 doesn't display properly

I have openSUSE 11.0 installed on my dual dual-opteron x86-64 computer.
I downloaded 11.2 RC2 (verified the md5 was ok) and burned the DVD.
Upon booting, I get the Welcome screen. I then get the "loading kernel" progress bar.
Then the screen switches to a bad scan rate because the screen can't be read.

Did you try booting the DVD, selecting "Safe Settings" ?

If that fails, under the "F3" option (I think) on the initial CD boot screen, you can also select a "text" install.
