Title:
Alternate install CD (both x86, AMD64) not booting on HP NX6325
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
The x86 as well as the AMD64 alternate installation CD stops booting
immediately after the kernel is being loaded (when switching the
screen). So if I remove "quiet" from the kernel parameters, I see all
the kernel messages, but immediately after that the screen goes black.
The system only responds to Ctrl-Alt-Del works, terminal windows are
not active.
I tried several "typical" laptop kernel parameters but that did not
help.
The problem exists for the Beta CD set as well the following daily
builds. I had no problem with the daily builds before September 24,
2007. Installed systems seem also still to work, also the LiveCD does
boot (well at least until Gnome gets started, but this is another
bug).
I guess it might be related to a problem with the initrd and/or the
framebuffer. Media are ok as I tested them on a different system
without this problem.
Funny thing is: When I ask for the CD being tested, that seems to
work, there is some HD/CD-activity. However, the screen also remains
black.

--------------
Description modified by Hans Deragon, to reflect current status.
Currently this occurs also with the HP 6510b and HP 2510p using Hardy
Heron 08.04 Alpha 6 Alternate install CD. Both of these systems have
an Intel GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphic Controller.
There is a workaround. On the main menu, press "F6 Other Options",
replace "quiet --" with "fb=false" and try it. The bug seams to be
with the framebuffer, thus disabling it get the installer displayed.
