Package: installation-report I just tested a PXE installation on a Dell Latitude D505 of the squeeze based d-i downloaded from http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/dists/squeeze/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/gtk/debian-installer/i386/. The installer failed to start and the screen went black when X was supposed to start.
This was the pxelinux configuration used: LABEL edu-squeeze-i386-kde MENU LABEL Debian Edu/Squeeze (KDE) kernel neteduboot/squeeze/linux append initrd=neteduboot/squeeze/initrd.gz "url=http://ftp.skolelinux.org/installer-squeeze.dat" desktop=kde hostname=pxelinux domain=intern debug video=vesa:ywrap,mtrr The machine in question had a problem earlier with the kernel and X because of a bug related to the X.org intel driver. See bug #599927 for the details about that issue. Details about the hardware is available in this bug. I lack the hardware to get a serial console on the machine, and the skills and knowledge to get a network console, and thus am a but unsure how to debug this. The installer crashes very early, before I have any chance to get in and try to figure out what is going on. The text installer work just fine, and the machine is installing now using the latest text installer.
