Package: firmware-linux-nonfree Version: 0.35 Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi After a fresh debian installation on my laptop, all the screen goes black and grey after a restart, because the radeon-firmware is missing. This also happens in recovery mode. I had to manually fix this by copiing the firmware files after starting from a debian CD ROM. I first tried to fix it with different kernel boot parameters, but they all did not help. The problem does not occure when installing debian squeeze, neither when doing an upgrade from squeeze to wheezy. This propably concerns other Laptops/Computers with ATI grapic cards. Maybe it is related to GNOME 3 which needs 3D support? (just a guess) At least, a hint in the installer would be nice so that a user knows he has to use unfree firmware or else he will be unable to use the system. Thanks!

The process of installing firmware (and the firmware thing in Debian archive as a whole) has changed significantly with Debian 12 Bookworm. See https://www.debian.org/vote/2022/vote_003 and https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2023/20230219 So, (missing) firmware should be no longer an issue.
