Package: Debian-installer
Version: 6.0.2

My screen goes blank and there is no responsee from the keyboard
immediately after GRUB boots into linux after running the installer.

I have attempted to install Debian 6.0.2 twice. The first time I used the
option to boot from windows (by clicking on the link from
goodbye-microsoft.com). The second time, I used the
debian-6.0.2.1-i386-netinst iso. In both cases, I was able to boot into
the installer, to go into the graphical installer, and to appear to
complete the boot process using more-or-less the default options,
including the installation of GRUB to the MBR. I have installed linux
many times in the last 15 years, including several versions of debian.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The system then rebooted,
and went to GRUB. GRUB showed two options, the standard boot and the fail
safe option. Selecting either of these leads to a long sequence of
standard boot messages to appear, before the screen goes blank. At this
point, there is no response to the keyboard; the caps and num lock lights
do not toggle, and ctrl-alt-del does not reboot the system.

thanks

Hi,

thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much 
appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug 
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
