Bug#925891: Debian Black Screen of Death worse than Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
In bug #925556, I showed you what a failed install looks like to a user
who has booted via grub's "(recovery mode)" entries.
If the user hadn't touched the keyboard, a normal boot would instead
proceed, whereupon the user would just end up on a black screen.
They might say 'I tried Debian. Black screen! Not even "BSOD" with a few
words on it. Forget it!'
"One can't just hack X Windows to do that" you might say...
Well please do something.
