At least, someone found a solution :-) You can answer to all people 
asking about this problem on the forums (but not reporting it through 
bugzilla !).

However, I'd like to know how this is possible. The ISO just uses the 
basic text mode provided by the kernel console, nothing really fancy. 
What could be wrong with that? What is this "vga=791" mode?
