Comments/Problems:
I booted the machine from cdrom and all seemed ok until it should start
X. 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:

The X-Error message after video=ofonly:

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
