Package: installation-reports
Severity: important

Installing debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso, dated 17-Dec-2008, on a 
Dell Dimension 2350 with an add-on PCI video card.

There is an existing kernel bug (see bug 507955) that causes the newly 
installed Debian system to oops and become unresponsive on bootup.

(NOTE: Booting off the install CD works fine; the installer comes up and 
runs without a problem.)

There is a workaround for this bug---blacklisting two kernel modules--- 
detailed in the above bug report. This is something that the installer 
would need to add to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (or some other file in that 
directory), not only because of the hard-to-diagnose nature of the problem, 
but also because the user would otherwise have to resort to a "rescue" 
environment to fix it.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
