Mmm, what date was your sarge installcd ? There has been a known bug in there somehow about the framebuffer loading thingy. Now, it still is a kernel problem, since the radeonfb module should use the DCC bus to interogate the monitor and read the EDID info back, and based on this set a video mode supported by said monitor. Sure, now, if d-i give it bogus module option, there may be a problem, but i think not. Look at /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/S45frambuffer... or something such, i think. But try one of the daily builds first to check if it is not fixed. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
