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:
http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/~wolfi/d-i/X-Error.jpg

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

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.
