Control: retitle -1 installation-reports: X fails to start within d-i

I've seen that when removing the "vga=..." part on the syslinux command
line; if you could check (in /proc/cmdline from another console) that
this parameter is present, that would make sure the framebuffer ought to
have been enabled.

If you can extract dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log from within d-i when
that happens, that might help us figure out what goes wrong and whether
there's a fix for that.

Glad to hear the installed system at least works fine; and thanks for
letting us know how the installation went, it's appreciated.
