François:
Try entering a little gibberish (like jdfjfhf) from the prompt and
hitting enter.  You will get an error about kernel jdfjfhf not found.
Then hit enter again and it may run.

If it doesn't, look at this page:

and try some of the options listed.  It's been found that often starting
the install with "linux nofb" often works but you may have to try other
options.

Otherwise without knowing more about your hardware and what the error
messages you may be seeing before the process stops (apparent reboot??)
it is difficult for the community to assist.
