Non-functional installs of Debian on JS21 blade servers
Hi all, I would like to report a bug ...

Bug#414785: rootskel-gtk: Improve the banner on top of the gui installer
On Wed, Jun 13, 2007 at 04:41:55PM +0200, Frans Pop wrote: Hi Mike, I've built the graphical installer using this improved banner. It proved to be a bit more work than expected as I also had to modify the Clearlooks theme so that the progress bar and selected items match the new banner. It looked quite horrible in combination with the current color as it is quite a bit different shade of red. I finally ended up with #C00040, which results in the following screenshots: http://alioth.debian.org/~fjp-guest/tmp/g-i_new_banner_select.png http://alioth.debian.org/~fjp-guest/tmp/g-i_new_banner_progress.png There is one problem with implementing a banner with a gradient like this, is that we currently use vga=788, which is 16-bit color depth. This makes the banner look striped as can be seen in the screenshots. I've tried booting with vga=789 (32-bit), but it seems that is not supported by the VESA framebuffer we use... So, I'm a bit uncertain whether to proceed with the new banner or not. Other opinions welcome. If we do continue, I'd like to see the GNU/Linux text repositioned a bit. I think it would look better just a bit closer to the logo and probably moved down a bit so it has the same baseline as debian (the black text, not the shade). I just gave a try to the graphical installer from d-i rc2, and I'm sad to see the banner didn't change a single bit since then :( Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Breaking X.Org on sparc (was: Bug#514418: [FIX]: ultra45 boot failing...)
Hi We introduced a workaround by reverting a removal in the kernel to allow the current X.Org on sparc work. However this patch is not supportable and breaks all newer machines quite badly. This means that we have to back it out again and the only question is if we will do that for r0 or r1.
