Bug#216048: linux-kernel-di: Cycles on vesafb.o module loading
Package: linux-kernel-di
Severity: grave
Tags: d-i
Justification: renders package unusable
While trying the daily-generated netinst image grabbed from gluck on Oct
15th (dated Oct 15th, 00:16), the following happens :
info: Trying to nable linux fram buffer
Using /lib/modul s/2.4.22-1-386/k rnel/drivers/video/vesafb.o
modprobe: failed to load module vesafb
info: Trying to nable linux fram buffer
Using /lib/modul s/2.4.22-1-386/k rnel/drivers/video/vesafb.o
modprobe: failed to load module vesafb
info: Trying to nable linux fram buffer
Using /lib/modul s/2.4.22-1-386/k rnel/drivers/video/vesafb.o
modprobe: failed to load module vesafb
(the missing "e" letters are also reproducible..:-))
.../...
I tried with and with kernel parameter "video=vga16:off" which seemed to me
the only one for controlling whether some "advanced" graphic features are
used or not, but the same happened.
Test conditions :
VMWare virtual machine on my PIII-800 Dell X200 laptop. VMWare acceleration
disabled or enabled (no change).
On the same hardware with the same virtual machine settings, the image from
Oct 12Th loads well (but fails later for some other already reported bug).
The image from Oct 9th loads well.
I'll try with Oct 16th image as soon as I get it (it seems that kernel-image
changed in the last hours).
PS : hope this is reported against the appropriate package
