Comments/Problems:
The installation went perfectly until after the reboot.  At the moment
when grub should have appeared, the screen instead went blank.  After
the 5-second timeout the hard drive light came on, indicating that the
system was booting but without video display.  I now have a "working"
Ubuntu system which is fine once X begins but I still can't see
anything during the console mode portion of boot-up.  When I boot from
any Debian install disc using `linux vga=ask` and type `scan`, the
screen appears black for the duration of the scan, then comes back at
the end of the scan.

This appears to be a comparable problem to one discussed in Red Hat:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819

I've also had a couple threads on debian-user about this:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/03/msg02594.html
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2006/03/msg02619.html

I'm quite willing to help by trying things or providing more info,
just let me know.  I have a couple suggestions from someone on
Debian-user which I haven't tried yet, namely passing acpi=on or
debian-installer/framebuffer=false at the installer boot prompt.

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.
