It was the install kernel i was looking for, thanks. However, it seems that 
was not the problem. The symptom is after the install kernel is downloaded, it 
is decompressed and things seem to be going fine. Then it says, very quickly, 
something like "pported console found on slot 0, trying serial console". Then 
the screen immediately goes blank. The end. Can i not finish the install with 
my current dispay? Or maybe i have an unsupported display card?
