Hardware Specific / Re: 2.04 fails to boot on gateway e-2600 and e2610 systems

yes. The failure is that the installer does not boot. I never get to the 5 item page to actually do the image transfer to the disk. When 1.4 boots, I get a "Press escape to ..." message that will allow me to see the grub screen. On 2.04 there is no message, and pressing shift while booting has no effect. I was attempting to remove the quiet splash and get the kernel to show me the boot messages to debug it. It sounds like it may actually be in the grub phase prior to passing control to the boot kernel. Is there a way to modify the USB stick to get more debug info throughout the process?
Be aware that this same stick works fine in dell and hp systems with similar vintage architectures (early 64 bit processors). I also tried the 2.04L to see if there is any change. No joy.
