Hi,

I tried the latest graphical installer (december 7), but it failed to
start the graphical system. Here is a sample of the logs:

kernel: ioctl32(debconf:1234): Unknown cmd fd(6) cmd(0004700){00} arg(0f394e70) on /dev/fb/0

It is repeated with a different pid, so obviously the graphic system
crashes on startup and is respawned...


Probably -boot is the best place to talk about this.

Sven, Attilio, Davide, any hints?


Charles, your crash seems very similar to one reported on this m-l some times ago: have you already tried this? [1] did it work ? Ah.. this reminds me that automatic HW acceleration disabilitation for broken fbdev drivers has still to be done; Sven, any progress on this?

ciao

Attilio
