Package: installation-reports Boot method: netinst Image version: debian-6.0.6-i386-netinst.iso Date: Wed Oct 10, 20 Machine: recycled Dell PC Processor: Memory: 512 MB Partitions: Output of lspci -knn (or lspci -nn): Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: Initial boot troubles: A nice painting appears, but, after choosing from the menu, nothing happens and the machine seems freezed (some strange coloured points do appear in the top line of the screen though). Defaults to a graphic mode seemingly not supported by the graphic adapter? Unclear how to pass parameters to kernel, but, in the end, I managed to pass fb=false so got a ncurses install menu. I'd suggest to adopt a ncurses UI as default, and give the graphics as an option (with fallback in case of failure, maybe with a timer).

Hi, thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated. I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if - they (finally) indicated success and/or - I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in Wheezy and/or - they only contained very little information and/or - they contained user errors and/or - they were caused by broken hardware and/or - they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or - they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or - moreinfo was asked and not given. If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft. cheers, HolgerAttachment: signature.asc
