interesting enough -- I came to this bug without looking for the bugs
related to this particular laptop (Compaq Presario 2100), but that is
what I have ;)
I was trying to reinstall the beast using daily d-i netinst images for
squeeze. In my case, system freezes after a second whenever installer
menu appears. If I fill keyboard buffer with a keystroke before menu
appears, then menu reacts to the keypress (so if it was Enter -- it
proceeds with installation, ie screen gets back to black), but
nevertheless system freezes right away.
Is there any way I could help troubleshooting the issue? may be I could
test the last d-i image which was shipped without grub2 as the
bootloader? what was it?
d-i still doestn't use grub2 by default if you install stable or
testing. Only if you install unstable you can't get currently
grub-legacy.
Well the kFreeBSD ones use grub2 for booting d-i and also for the
installed system but I don't think you use that.
Anyway when forwarding this bug I forgot about our at_keyboard driver.
At the top of grub.cfg try:
insmod at_keyboard
terminal_input at_keyboard
