Bug Description
I was doing a PXE/netboot install of Gutsy Tribe 5 AMD64 on a Lenovo T61 with Intel 965 graphics. The install is in text mode and progresses quite far through until the point where it is downloading and installing all the packages for the desktop. Part way through that (lengthy) process the screen goes corrupt as shown in the attached photos. Everything is still operating fine as the text moves such as on the Alt-F4 console but I can't interact since I can't read anything.
My *guess* as to what is happening is that the installation of one of the packages decides to load a console font and either gets that wrong, or gets it right but changes the screen mode in an incompatible way for that font.
