Installation on Blade 1500

[burluka at talktalk.net]

Thanks,
I have tried this one (is it the same as the 11.2 release from the main download site?). Anyway, it hangs just the same after "jumping to kernel entry 0xc00b000"
I am certain that the hardware is fine.
Cheers,AB

I would suggest trying the most recent 11.2/stable snapshot on the 
machine, and see if it works.  I would try this image:
