Well, not much help here I'm afraid.
Just to confirm that this graphics adapter is indeed supported:

And that there is no required patch kit (there is one for 5.1):

Why not just try a simple serial line install on a (logging) terminal emulator?
IMHO that's not much of an inconvenience for a 'once in a life time' process. It involves fewer things to go wrong and may have a more clear log / traceback is something does go wrong.

fwiw,
Hein.

Salem,

time to read the installation guide carefully and be sure console settings are correct.

Hi

Thank you gays for your help ,i think that it's hardware problem , the graphic cards may cause problem.
