I'm not sure I understand what autosigning is, but can we get it for powerpc, too, so this doesn't happen again the next time? Enjoy!

Bug#700598: scrambled/torn display, booting wheezy weekly amd64 CD on L850/046

Bugger. :-( I've tweaked the graphics mode selection recently to go for 800x600 by default to try and fix this problem. On some machines (notably a Lenovo laptop I had access to), 640x480 doesn't work reliably. On your Toshiba it sounds like 800x600 is a problem. I've switched to hard-coding the graphics mode as grub's own auto-detection of graphics modes seems less than reliable in the current code. :-( Neale, could you try the following for me and tell me what happens please? I need you to type the following (blind!) at the corrupt display: "c" (call up a grub command line) "terminal_output console" (switch to text-mode output, you should now get visible text output) After that, the following would be useful too: "videoinfo" (will print the video capabilities of your machine) "set gfxmode=640x480" (try a different resolution) "terminal_output gfxterm" (go back to graphic-mode output) "" (go back to the menu, now in 640x480) I'm hoping that the 640x480 mode might work better for you. Whether it does or not, the videoinfo output would be very useful if you can note that down for me. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.st...@einval.com Google-bait: http://www.debian.org/CD/free-linux-cd Debian does NOT ship free CDs.

Bug#700598: scrambled/torn display, booting wheezy weekly amd64 CD on L850/046
Package: installation-reports Attempting to boot the Wheezy weekly amd64 CD of 2013/2/11 on a new Toshiba L850/046 (in EFI mode, secure boot disabled) results in scrambled display. The machine initiates boot from the CD, displays 'Welcome to GRUB!' then 'Warning: "prefix is not set'. Then the display is scrambled (like video "tearing") and confined to the upper approx 40% of the screen. Using the up and down arows causes small changes in this scrambled/torn display, which are consistent with small changes to a menu - i.e. it appears the insaller may have booted OK, but just not displaying correctly. In the system settings, there is no obvious item for changing the display setting(s). Thanks, Neale. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#571136: please remove useless devices from devices.tar.gz
retitle 571136 debootstrap should not use makedev? thanks I really really wish that debootstrap could stop creating the /dev/ram* devices which have been useless since the end of 2.4 kernels [...] Md/infinity: the real fix for /dev/ram* is probably for d-i to stop using makedev, since the package was RFA'ed in 2009, and O'ed in early 2011. See #543592. As the former makedev maintainer, I'm certainly not planning on touching it again... -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So I tried a proposal: -- Installation of grub bootloader may fail if more than one disc device is available When there is more than one disc available during installation (for example one harddisc and one usbstick, as it is commonly the case when you boot the installer from a usbstick), grub-install may run into problems: it was reported several times, that the grub bootloader was installed onto the usbstick instead of the harddisc, where the rest of the system was installed. In such cases it is possible to resolve the situation like this: boot into the rescue mode of the installer, chroot into your root filesystem, mount any additional boot partition you may have (if you have such), and run grub-install again. A solution for this is already on the way (crossing fingers). -- Holger -- = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Created with Sylpheed 3.0.2 under D e b i a n G N U / L I N U X 6.0 ( S q u e e z e ) Registered LinuxUser #311290 - http://linuxcounter.net/ = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
