Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.39-2 Severity: important This is the laptop of a coworker which runs Debian testing, but I have observed this problem on a Linux kvm VM running Debian unstable as well previously.
To enable the spacefun splash screen, I had to do the following, according to information in the Debian Wiki, because otherwise, plymouth wouldn’t enter a graphics mode: root@rfisch-nb:~ # sed -n '/^[^#]/p' /etc/initramfs-tools/modules uvesafb mode_option=1400x1050-24 mtrr=3 scroll=ywrap Now, 2.6.38-2-686 boots but 2.6.39-2-686-pae fails to come up at all. On her laptop the screen stays totally black and no disc activity could be observed – it looks as if the system froze. On the Linux kvm VM, the screen gets garbled (like when switching from X back to the console for a short while), and the system also freezes. I have reported a similar bug to plymouth, by suggestion of waldi, but the comments there were not helpful. Stated goal is to have a splash screen (at this time, spacefun) while booting a Debian system. If I’m doing it wrong, please tell me how to do it the right way; reassign if necessary, as long as someone cares. -- Package-specific info: ** Kernel log: boot messages should be attached -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.38-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/mksh Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.40 Debian configuration management sy ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.99 tools for generating an initramfs ii linux-base 3.2 Linux image base package ii module-init-tools 3.16-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae recommends: ii firmware-linux-free 3 Binary firmware for various driver ii libc6-i686 2.13-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae suggests: ii grub-pc 1.99-6 GRand Unified Bootloader, version pn linux-doc-2.6.39 <none> (no description available) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae is related to: pn firmware-bnx2 <none> (no description available) pn firmware-bnx2x <none> (no description available) pn firmware-ipw2x00 <none> (no description available) pn firmware-ivtv <none> (no description available) ii firmware-iwlwifi 0.30 Binary firmware for Intel Wireless ii firmware-linux 0.30 Binary firmware for various driver ii firmware-linux-nonfree 0.30 Binary firmware for various driver pn firmware-qlogic <none> (no description available) pn firmware-ralink <none> (no description available) pn xen-hypervisor <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae/postinst/ignoring-ramdisk: * linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae/postinst/missing-firmware-2.6.39-2-686-pae: linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.39-2-686-pae: false linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.39-2-686-pae: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
