Bug#628752: After install, system hangs during boot unless "nomodeset" is given



Quoting Daniel Richard G. (skunk@iSKUNK.ORG):

> Booting into the installed system hangs at what appears to be the KMS
> video-mode change. The screen goes black (without loss of video signal),
> and the system becomes completely unresponsive: neither the Alt-SysRq
> keys nor tapping the ACPI power button elicits a response. All I can do
> then is power-cycle the system.
> 
> Booting with the "nomodeset" kernel parameter completes successfully,
> yielding a login prompt.
> 
> Attached are kernel logs of the above two boot attempts, obtained via
> serial console.


So, that's a kernel issue and not really an installer issue. Are you
in position to test this with the latest kernel in unstable
(2.6.39). It would probably help the kernel team when we reassign the
bug.
