Bug#65309: UDMA66 boot floppies video problem
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.13-2000-05-04
When I try to install Debian with the current UDMA66 boot-floppies,
immediately after the kernel is uncompressed and starts up, the display
completely dies.
I've got a 20" fixed-frequency monitor and a special video card for it
that's SVGA-compatible. When I removed the card and attached a normal 15"
monitor to the onboard video adapter, I see a graphic of a penguin with a
stein of beer :-) displayed. The regular boot floppies don't do this.
I suggest that the picture should be removed from the UDMA66 boot floppies
since it can cause problems with some video cards, or it should be possible
to disable it easily with a prominent notice advising the user how to do so.
