 Here is the output of dmesg|grep -e drm -e radeon for the first 60

As I suspected, radeonfb is active. You'll have to disable that,
otherwise it prevents KMS from taking ownership of the GPU.

Hi Michel,

 As I suspected, radeonfb is active. You'll have to disable that,
 otherwise it prevents KMS from taking ownership of the GPU.

I do not know how to deactivate radeonfb. Can you provide me with some 
indications
to do that ?

Best regards,

2010-03-23 Thread Rick Thomas


This bug is still present in the current (3/22) PowerPC sid d-i daily  
businesscard install CD.


What needs to be done to get it fixed?

Something like

video=radeonfb:off

on the kernel command line I think.

 partman has some checks for partitions,
 aboves specialised wish sound nice for debian installer
 although there are not many powerpc guys.

Deciding on the MODULES= setting is done by base-installer.
If somebody from the Debian PowerPC community can provide a tested patch 
for this we'll be happy to apply it. If help is needed developing the 
patch, feel free to ask on the debian-boot list.

Cheers,
