I did not see any option to get out of that infinite loop - get "no
driver", then "select driver", and repeat. Do have the "back" button,
but that goes back to the start. No way to get out of it for the
x86_64 install.
And not even clear what driver it is complaining about - says
"installation media driver problem" - can't be network (I'm not
installing from network), can't be DVD (I'm installing from DVD, and
it booted from DVD, and started the install process), maybe it is the
on-board SATA driver for the hard-drive? The x86_64 install also used
a text-based menu
Then I tried the i386 version and that goes through the full install
process just fine, and uses graphical menu.
