Bug#992280: cdrom: Debian 11 installer fails to produce usable display



Cyril,

Out of curiosity I downloaded the 10.10.0 netinst.iso and tried it on my system. It produced the same results as 11.0.0, the installation display was shredded. I had installed 10.0 on that machine when it was released with no problems but was using a Samsung 204T 1600x1200 monitor at the time. It seems there is something wonky (or at least uncooperative) about my NEC monitor.

Cyril,

Thank you for the prompt reply.

I had read those pages and was using the firmware-11.0.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
and firmware-11.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso images. But I was unable to even begin using the installer. Attached are photos of the DVD-1 boot screen and resulting displays when choosing the graphic and text install options. The results with the netinstall iso were identical.

I was able to install 11.0.0 using the debian-live-xfce+nonfree iso and the installed system works just fine with my NEC monitor.

I tried using the i386-netinst.iso to load 11.0.0 on an ALIX 1C Geode embedded board. My NEC monitor refused to display giving me a "VGA out of range" message. When I tried an Acer AL1717 1280x1024 monitor the netinstall came up perfectly.

Dear Maintainer,

Attempted to install Debian 11.0.0 on AMD Ryzen 3 2200G ASRock
A320M-HDV motherboard with VGA connected NEC EA231WU 1920x1200
monitor. Both the netinstall and DVD-1 images booted but each produced
a shredded raster display for both the graphic and text install
options.

Please check the installation guide, we'd be happy to have some feedback
regarding the proposed workarounds:
