Reboot: [ ]
Comments/Problems:
The boot is fine at first (in a framebuffer), but then it looks as if X
is being started - the screen flashes brightly (and jaggedly), then
immediately goes dark. This repeats every few seconds - it looks as if
there is some text (dark on light background, probably larger than the
framebuffer text), during the bright flashes, but these are not visible
for long enough to let me read any of it. At a guess, the text is the X
log, as if X is trying to find a resolution, failing, and immediately
restarting.
As shown above, the agp is nVidia (sorry, but they mostly come through like
that now) and it is connected to a 14" LCD screen via a DVI-VGA adaptor and
KVM.

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.
