Package: Debian-Installer

I installed Debian Testing (Wheezy) from CD-ROM (net-install) on my netbook Asus EeePC 1015BX. The installation worked fine but when I removed the CD-ROM and rebooted the netbook I didn't get a usable screen. The screen is totally unusable, many black, grey and white lines and dots, no text is visible. For your information the x-server is not installed yet. 

On the other hand Debian Stable (Squeeze) works fine on my netbook. I tried the live-cd from Xubuntu 11.10 and it works, too.

If you need further information please let me know.

Best wishes
Oliver

Confirmed by private mail (thanks Oliver for the quick follow-up) to
be the usual radeon vs. firmware issue with KMS, closing accordingly.
