Want to add some things for google: Although my system has a very old graphics card (ATI Rage XL) my problem cannot be solved by the standard solution "add drm.edid_strict=0 and nomodeset to your kernel command line" as the problem lies within grub2 2.02. Debian starts perfectly without any extra options (no X or window manager installed). Grub-legacy can start it but all grub2 2.02 hang before starting it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
