Oh no, please Mark! We are wayting a step by step detailed description of
the procedure that makes GUI installer fail and text installer succeed.
Please, this is vital so we can reproduce, diagnose and fix the bug. If
you do not provide such step by step detailed descrition, you will be the
only winner. Please, share your knowledge with the community, help Debian
to be better.

By step by step detailed description I mean a description of what decision
you took at every single step of the installer, not just simply "GUI
fails, text succeds". You don't have to read syslogs, you don't have to
pres Alt-F?, nothing like that. You just have to say at every single point
of the installation what the installer asked and what did you choose. And
do this for both the GUI and the text installers with the same hardware
and installation medium, in a way that GUI fails and text succeeds. No
interpretations nor guessing needed. Just plain facts, but they have to be
precise and step by step.

You know, finding a bug in the Debian installer is one of the greatest
contributions a user can make to Debian. We all will be very greateful if
you do this effort.

On behalf of all Debian users and developers who will benefit from your
contribution, I thank you.

João Luis Meloni Assirati.
