Then it crashed showing a blue screen with a small garbled image in the middle. No keyboard interaction anymore. The next try was with "expert video=ofonly". It did not crash this time, but it failed to start X too. Instead it tried to restart X endlessly, showing the error message to short to read it. A colleague of mine was able to take a picture in just the right moment, so that we could read: (!) DirectFB/Core/NM: Panning Display failed! --> Invalid argument (!) [ 3163: 0.000] --> Caught signal 11 (at 0x303a9000, invalid permissions) I could switch to the next console and cat /var/log/syslog were I read init: Starting pid 3064, console /dev/vc/1: /sbin/debian-installer init: Process /sbin/debian-installer (pid 3064) exited. Scheduling it for restart. The pictures we took are available on the net: The picture with the crashed X after normal start and the whole computer: http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/d-i/Screen1.jpg http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/d-i/Computer.jpg The X-Error message after video=ofonly: http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/d-i/X-Error.jpg The installation with the normal (non-graphical) mini-iso went fine, we could initialise the network and X starts without problems. Plese tell me how I can help to debug this issue. I will retry the graphical installer from time to time and follow up on this bug-report. Thanks, Wolfi
