Bug#609466: test new image
Hello, I have tested the debian-6.0.1a-sparc-CD-1.iso for sparc. It works fine. I need to use the video=atyfb:off both when installing and when starting the newly installed system at the SILO boot: Linux video=atyfb:off How do you add the video=atyfb:off so it starts with that parameter automatically? It would be helpful if the answer was in the sparc installation guide. After that I'm not able to start X windows but that is another story I assume. Best regards Otto Frost
Bug#609466: console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole disabled
Hello, Thanks for the quick reply. entering 'install video=atyfb:off' (without quotes) did make the trick. After choosing language, keyboard, It can't find the cdrom. ^^^ lsmod indicates the cdrom driver is loaded. bug=609733 indicates that the issue with the cdrom is solved, but on my system it doesn't work. I tried all the mentioned images, in bug 609466 Best regards Otto Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2011 18:02:06 + From: ju...@wooyd.org To: tomten1...@live.se CC: 609...@bugs.debian.org; ju...@wooyd.org; fberc...@xs4all.nl; el...@debianpt.org Subject: Re: console [tty0] enabled, bootconsole disabled On Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 07:01:47PM +0100, Tomten Larsson wrote: Hello, I have tested this image.

As I wrote in my previous message, we need to build a patched kernel to see whether it fixes the problem. However, I did not recognize that you cannot even boot the installer, so you are unable to build/test such kernel. One thing you can try is disable aty framebuffer to see whether it will allow you to boot the installer. After you see the installer welcome screen with the 'boot:' prompt, instead of simply pressing Enter, try entering 'install video=atyfb:off' (without quotes) and then press Enter. That should boot the kernel with framebuffer disabled. Best regards, -- Jurij Smakov ju...@wooyd.org Key: http://www.wooyd.org/pgpkey/ KeyID: C99E03CC
