Hi, (I'm taking the liberty of keeping the initial quote even if that wasn't a public conversation, hopefully that's OK…)

I'm afraid I have bad news regarding the graphical installer for bullseye: once past ISOLINUX in BIOS mode, the screen goes black, and stays black. Pressing any key makes the language selection screen pop up out of the shadows anyway, but what a terrible user experience… we *might* be able to accept (and document) the regression, but I would prefer *not* to do that… The same happens after GRUB2 in UEFI mode. That doesn't seem to be something about timings, as pressing a key repeatedly from the get-go gives an image almost immediately (so that shouldn't be something like getrandom again)… https://debamax.com/blog/2018/05/25/debugging-black-screen-in-debian-installer/ I'm seeing this with netboot-gtk's mini.iso, and *not* with the 20210731+deb11u10 one, so this isn't just something about my QEMU setup. I'm not seeing this with netboot's mini.iso, so usual suspects would be the GTK stack, the X stack, and the kernel. I haven't tested on baremetal yet. But even I can only replicate it within QEMU, it would make sense to figure out where this is coming from, and whether that can be avoided with some fix or workaround. Adam, what timeframe are you comfortable with, to give me some time to figure that out? (i.e. d-i/bullseye must be uploaded before ___?)
