Sorry if it looks like I disregard the dump. I understand its importance, but I can't copy it so I preferred not to confuse anyone with wrong data. I'll try to make a photo, since I have no idea how to copy it in more correct manner. > > and a message like "press stop-a to return to OBP".

The strange thing is I successfully booted debian daily (or weekly) image on this machine about one month ago -- and everything including keyboard worked. But I didn't installed Debian because lack of time :( For this month at least one change happened: I installed second videocard, XVR-300; maybe OBP upgrade also took place during this month (can't figure out when it happened). I specifically mentioned videocard here because the last line before hang says "radeon frameuffer d[" -- looks like incomplete line, maybe this is somehow related to second videocard? I tried installer with debian-installer/framebuffer=false, but seems it still uses framebuffer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
