Is this a problem with how the modes are setup, or is it a little deeper, with how GENERIC handles the framebuffer and keyboard input (it seems like the arrow keys just aren't mapped, quirky eh? ;)) I hooked it up to an old toshiba laptop (running 5.2.1-RELEASE of course) and it's installing using serial console mode instead. -R.
