Bug#696206: radeon brokenness observed with Toshiba/Radeon video
Package: installation-reports
Severity: serious
Image version: beta4 netinst CD amd64
System type: Toshiba Satellite P305-S8825
Installer is fine
During Debian's first and subsequent boot, the console becomes corrupted
The X display is just blank too
Access to the box is possible using ssh
Adding
radeon.modeset=0
to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub
makes the system work normally.
squeeze Live DVD worked fine on the same system. wheezy is installed to hard disk
