Comments/Problems:
Initial boot troubles:
A nice painting appears, but, after choosing from the menu, nothing happens
and the machine seems freezed (some strange coloured points do appear in the
top line of the screen though).
Defaults to a graphic mode seemingly not supported by the graphic adapter?
Unclear how to pass parameters to kernel, but, in the end, I managed to pass
fb=false so got a ncurses install menu.
I'd suggest to adopt a ncurses UI as default, and give the graphics as
an option (with fallback in case of failure, maybe with a timer).

Hi,
thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.
I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given.
If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.
cheers,
Holger
