Hi Oliver,
Oliver Scholl os.n...@gmx.de (04/12/2012):
Package: Debian-Boot
Distribution: wheezy
Bug#655505
On 11. Januar 2012 I wrote the following bug report
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2012/01/msg00112.html):
I installed Debian Testing (Wheezy) from CD-ROM (net-install) on my
netbook Asus EeePC 1015BX. The installation worked fine but when I
removed the CD-ROM and rebooted the netbook I didn't get a usable
screen. The screen is totally unusable, many black, grey and white
lines and dots, no text is visible. For your information the
x-server is not installed yet. On the other hand Debian Stable
(Squeeze) works fine on my netbook.
if the intarwebz are correct, that laptop comes up with an AMD/ATI
graphic card. I suspect what you're seeing is troubles with radeon KMS
without the needed firmware. If you have SSH access, you could install
firmware-linux-nonfree, reboot and enjoy. Otherwise, you can boot with
disabled KMS and perform the same package installation (adding the
following to the linux command line at the linux prompt:
radeon.nomodeset=1).
Latest linux kernels have a workaround to disable KMS from being
loaded if firmwares are missing, so next installation images (rc1)
shouldn't have this problem anymore.
Now (25. Nov. 2012) I gave it another try with the official
debian-wheezy-live-a2-i386-lxde-desktop.img now. But the problem is
still the same: it hangs up with a black and white pixeled screen
(just like heavy snowfall). In failsafe mode it's the same. Boot
option vga=0 has no effect too. Because I can't see anything on the
screen I can't read any messages nor have a look at a log file.
I have no knowledge on the debian live side, sorry.
Mraw,
KiBi.
