reassign 604101 debian-installer thanks > Under the default boot options, the installer fails to progress beyond GRUB > when installing on the EEEPC 701SD. (800x480 LCD panel) > > I booted the installer from a USB flash drive and GRUB loaded. I selected > the option for a standard textmode install and pressed ENTER. After the > installer loaded, corrupted pixels appeared on the top of the screen. There > was some evidence that the installer was alive (CTRL-ALT-F2, etc caused the > pattern to change shape) but the installer was unusable because no text > appeared. The graphical installer wouldn't load either. > > Later, I tried pressing TAB to change boot options and discovered that a > "vga=" option was being added by default. Removing this option allowed the > installer to proceed. Reassigning to debian-installer as this is about boot options passed to the kernel. Dunno if we should drop the vga= setting or not....
