Hello,
I run debian etchnhalf 4.0r5a AMD64.
I just installed a new desktop system (std and desktop packages). Since
then i have done very little to add to it. Just installed foo2qpdl for
my printer and also dvdrip from debian multimedia.
Once in gnome i was informed of some new updated packages, so i did the
update. However i cannot recall which packages were in there.
Since the update, i now cannot boot into the system anymore. Symptoms
are as follows:
- display switches from normal 80x25 into framebuffer type higher
resolution mode during boot where as before it didn't change to framebuffer.
- will not show xserver, but monitor stays on with just backlight black
screen.
- I cannot change consoles using ctrl+alt+F1 or whatever.
- tried booting using vga=normal at grub prompt but didn't make a
difference -> it still switches to framebuffer higher resolution display
during boot and then crashes.
This also occurred the other day (wednesday) to my previous debian
installation, which was etch 4.0r5 AMD64 (normal etch but updated to
etchnhalf kernel), i think also after a recommended update.
Any ideas?
My hardware is as follows:
Phenom 3 8450
2Gb ram
ATI radeon X300 PCIe card
gigabyte ga-ma770-s3 mobo
If you need some logs or whatever, i can try to boot with live cd to
access them and then i can post.
Thanks,
Simon
