As suggested by Mithrandir (on IRC), I used the "debian- installer/framebuffer=false" in the boot options, and the problem doesnt manifest itself.
When booting up the newly installed OS, the boot splash doesn't appear. I guess that's the result of not enabling framebuffer. However, X works. I'm guessing something is wrong with the way framebuffer works with the i810 graphics driver ? How can one debug that ? -- Video corruption at installation of xserver-xorg https://launchpad.net/bugs/48164 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
