Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? When booting the amd64 installer on a machine with a 32bit CPU, you get so far as to the menu from which you can select the install options. When you select "install", you're being left with a blue screen and a few lines with colourful pixels on top of the screen, and nothing further happens. The xSeries 345 isn't the only machine this happens with. Perhaps the problem is specific to old ATI cards like the mach64. * What outcome did you expect instead? There should be the message displayed that you need to use a 32bit version of the installer for a 32bit machine. (I didn't know it was a 32bit machine and started to think that either the install media is damaged, the hardware is broken or that there's some issue with the graphics card ... Displaying the 32bit message right away would have saved quite some trouble and time.) The message is displayed correctly when you edit the kernel command line before booting and remove the "quiet" option. I strongly recommend to change the installer to *not* use the quiet option. Especially with the installer, there is much point in being able to see all messages, and not everyone installs Debian on up-to-date and/or fully known hardware. Besides, the "quiet" option shouldn't be used by default after the installation has completed, either. If someone wants to suppress the messages, they can always add this option later. I have resorted to remove this option as part of the installation process and am getting much better results simply because I can see what's going on. *** End of the template - remove these lines *** -- Package-specific info: Boot method: cd,usb Image version: current stable, 7.6, 7.7, netinst iso Date: a couple days ago Machine: IBM xSeries 345 Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E] see above
