Black screen instead login prompt on GMA 500
Cann't boot latest installation media. Computer is DSA-3020 with POULSBO GMA500 graphics.
I tryied almost everything nomodeset, quiet splash, acpi=off, acpi_osi=Linux, mem=896mb, vga=771.... 
Interesting is that I see all outputs during kernel boot.
Black screen comes only instead Login prompt.

Try
video=SVIDEO-1:d
as boot parameter to the kernel.
Now I have a problem with the latest 3.7 kernel that just crash at loading the i915 module (with a 945GM intel graphic card) only when an external screen is attached to my laptop. The problem seems solved with the RC 3.8 kernel (self compiled). Or just downgrade to the 3.6 kernel or use the lts kernel.

Re: Black screen instead login prompt on GMA 500
It does show that you are searching the forums for your problem before starting a new thread, which is good.
But what it says of your memory ... I could say all sorts of nasty things - you wouldn't remember them!
But, on point, Have you tried `nomodeset` on the kernel line?
