I've trying to help you at the "My screen goes off on boot" thread,
gave you alternatives, we discussed the problem, it can be your
monitor (my best bet), or you could add a little effort and really
config Xorg to work with default driver VESA and low screen
resolutions, but you seem to want everything out of the box.

If your framebuffer is working, you could simply CTRL+ALT+F1 and run
the command-line installer, wich is a little more effort, but I've
tried, and it works, or you could just use gentoo-nofb and add "nox"
to your kernel options and use it without framebuffer. Its still
Linux.

If you want a CD that "just runs and installs" check another OS, I
would say its name, but its been so long since my last "blue screen of
death, format, reinstall, check for viruses, burn your firewall" days
;)
