Package: rootskel Version: SVN Severity: normal Tags: patch d-i d-i should not try to enable framebuffer if run from serial console or pty. This makes imposible installation using network-console and installer image built with 2.4 kernel. Also I see no reason to exit if installer cannot load framebuffer module (for 2.4, with 2.6 it will never exit).
