Package: installation-reports Boot method: From DVD image Image version: debian-wheezy-DI-b4-amd64-DVD-1.iso Date: 2012-12-01 Machine: Self-build around Asrock X58 motherboard Processor: Intel i7-920 Memory: 6GB DDR3 Partitions: see attachment df_Tl.out Output of lspci: see attachment lspci_knn.out Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [E] Configure network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: I chose: Advanced options > Alternative desktop environments > Xfce > Advanced options > Expert install and answered questions about language, keyboard, locale (default), modules to load (default), extra installer components (none). At the next stage "Detect network hardware" the installation stalled indefinitely (more than ten minutes) with a blue screen having a single white line at the bottom and a black cursor. Keyboard input was echoed to this bottom line, but I was unable to get any other response from the system and was obliged to use the machine's power on/off switch. On a second attempt, the installation progressed to completion when I skipped the steps Detect network hardware Configure the network Configure the clock although I was then left with an unusable system owing to the absence of the necessary Radeon firmware (see bug #692001 for example). Using a live rescue CD and accessing the internal hard disk via chroot it was possible to achieve network connectivity by manually setting up files /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf, whereupon I could install the package firmware-linux-nonfree and finally obtain a working graphical display.

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 or - they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to close wishlist bugs.) 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
