   It may be irrelevant, but.....   
      
   I installed 21.1 on a new machine, intel on-board video plus a low-end   
   nvidia card. I set the BIOS to use the on-board as primary video, and   
   the DVD wouldn't boot.   
      
   As I remember it, I had to set the nvidia card as primary video (which   
   allowed the DVD to boot), get the system installed, then install video   
   drivers from intel's web site. All's been OK since (whether intel or   
   nvidia, nouveau or proprietary).
