# makes lenny uninstallable for some people severity 516630 serious thanks Hi,
There was just another person reporting this bug in #debian: 23:41 < pasquale> ive a problem with debian, after i installed it, i cannot enter to the desktop, after i boot it says "setting console screen modes and fonts",but it never gets to the desktop 23:47 < pasquale> intelcore 2duo, asus 23:58 < pasquale> azeem nvidia geforce 8600 gt 23:58 < pasquale> 512 mb 00:15 < azeem> pasquale: looks like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516630 00:17 < pasquale> azeem yes it is the same as me.. even when i tried with the textual installation didnt work either, the screen became black and that was it.. Adding vga=791 to his kernel line fixed the problem for him and he was able to boot.
