cant install 11.1

Im trying to do a install of 11.1 from dvd. When I put in the dvd and boot from it it pops up a menu with a bunch of penguins walking around. I chosse install and it loads the kernel. Then all I get is a black screen???

Ok so if I choose vesa than I can see a bunch of stuff about pci and bus messages going across until it freezes. Mem check was good.

never mind I figured it out. Had to choose vesa AND safe kernal. WOW they really changed the boot up screens.

You mean the date sensitive Christmas look:)
