+ <dt>Possibly non-working detected USB braille devices</dt></dt>
+ <dd>When letting the Debian Installer detect a plugged USB braille
+ device, the latter may end up showing only "screen not in text

+ <dd>
+ Systems using aty graphics cards (for example, Ultra 10) may not
+ boot the installer correctly, with kernel freezing early in the boot
+ stage with last message "console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole
+ disabled". This is a kernel bug, for which a patch is available,
+ however it may be not fully fixed.<br />
+ The issue may be worked around by adding a kernel boot parameter

+ allows the installer (and regular kernel) to be booted on such systems.<br />
