hi
when trying to install on notebooks, it happens that the video is unreadable,
because it wraps to the bottom, and some lines are lost
I have encounterered the problem, as reported in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/debian-boot-200401/msg02507.html
but other people noted this, as in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2003/debian-laptop-200308/msg00401.html
the origin of the problem seems to be that:
the bootloader passes "vga=normal" (I found it in /cdrom/isolinux/isolinux.cfg)
whereas there are other options that work better:
I was lucky with vga=771 (that is what knoppix uses),
some other people with vga=791
another option is to dump the whole vga/framebuffer idea:
the normal Debian kernel that does not use vga/framebuffer has never
given me any problem on any PC (and I have strange PCs)

Description:
debian-installer-demo - run a live demo of the Debian Installer, without rebooting
Closes: 215508 225584 227853 228519 229904 231767
Changes:
debian-installer (20040209) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Steve Langasek
- Use -di flavored kernels for alpha
- build-depend on aboot for alpha (needed for making
floppies/CDs bootable)
- include srm-modules and socket-modules in the alpha initrd
- tell d-i that alpha CDROMs don't use a floppy image, just an
initrd and kernel
- upgrade to 2.4.24 for alpha kernels
* Thiemo Seufer
- Remove dead apt-get code in the Makefile.
- Redesigned build system. Major changes to the configuration
handling for all architectures. Closes: #215508
- Remove arhcdetect from m68k config, it is already in the generic
config.
- Fix broken alpha build, input-modules isn't created for -di
kernel flavour.
- Adjust daily-build script for the new build system.
- Remove special handling for "default", it was broken anyway.
- Switch back sparc kernel handling in tftpboot.sh to the old value.
- Add support for MANIFEST files. Closes: #231767
- Fix genromfs invocation, found by Thomas Poindessous.
* Thomas Poindessous
- Remove redundant kbd-chooser from netboot pkg-list.
- Add discover, discover-data to sparc netboot image. Closes: #227853
- Correct netboot image building on sparc. Closes: #228519
* Joey Hess
- Copyright date updates.
- Add wireless-tools to the net_drivers floppy and the netboot initrd.
- Switch the kernel to 2.4.24 for i386.
- Document vga=771 option for laptops with display problems.
Closes: #229904
- Add syslinux splash image by Matthew A. Nicholson, and another by
Klowner, and still another by Volkan YAZICI.
- Make all the syslinux help screens leave graphics mode when displayed.
- Hack syslinux.txt so it all fits on one line, the same line as the boot:
prompt.
- Add ${BOOTPROMPT} expansion to bootscreen-subst, to make it easy
to make the last line in a syslinux screen not have a newline at EOF
on the image, while still being easily editable.
- Switch cdroms from load-installer to load-cdrom. This is to work around
limitations in main-menu (see #218774). Driver floppy loading will now
be started by cdrom-detect if it fails to find a CD.
- Version the mtools build-dep. Closes: #225584
- Let HOST, BASEDIR, or DIR be set in the environment before running
daily-build, to override the defaults.
- Fix up miniiso creation to fit into the new build system better.
- Turn on miniiso creation for netboot, so there is a
dest/netboot/mini.iso that behaves the same as a netboot would.
- Add a dest/cdrom/debian-cd_info.tar.gz with the syslinux screens
and splash image, for eventual use by debian-cd.
- Convert the miniiso to use isolinux, to support any size initrd.
- Improvements to manifest generation and formatting.
* Richard Hirst
- ia64: Fix cdrom to autoboot, and tidy up kernel params. Partial
fix for 227114.
- ia64: Change to 2.4.22 -di kernel, and include usb storage modules,
and ide/scsi core modules. Partial fix for 227114.
- Increase ia64 'floppy' image to 10MB, and initrd to 24MB
- hppa: Add config/type/netboot-hppa, so TYPE=netboot generates a lifimage
- hppa: include fdisk-udeb in pkglists so we can partition.
- hppa: include text frontend, as it is useful for debugging.
- hppa: fix up palo cmdline for netboot lifimage
* Stephen R. Marenka
- m68k: update/create pkg-lists/cdrom/m68k pkg-lists/netboot/m68k.
- m68k: add some more devices to help support 2.2.25.
* Jeff Bailey
- sparc: Update config/arch/linux-sparc to show 2.4.24 and di flavour
- sparc: Remove ide-modules and scsi-modules - they're built in.
- sparc: Update kernel version in mirror-udeb list.
- sparc: Update config/sparc.cfg to show 2.4.24 and di flavour
- sparc: Add manifest lines to configuration file.
- ia64: Add manifest lines to configuration file.
- Bump mklibs dependancy to 0.1.15. Fixes needed for sparc.
