Bug#672520: syslinux-common: spins on boot, never shows the boot menu
Package: syslinux-common Version: 2:4.05+dfsg-3 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Justification: renders package unusable Steps to reproduce: - in a d-i checkout, run "make -C build build_netboot" - boot the resulting build/dest/netboot/mini.iso With 2:4.05+dfsg-2 I get the expected boot menu. With -3 nothing happens, with the CPU apparently spinning without making progress. This badly affects the d-i dailies.

FWIW the X server in the installer doesn't even support composite. I can see how adding libXdamage might make some sense. I don't think adding randr would, since we use the fbdev driver.

OTOH they'll probably be broken by non-ABI-changing kernel changes anyway, so maybe that doesn't matter. For the other images I don't believe there should be a problem, as they already include the appropriate module udebs and install the final kernel through the linux-image-foo metapackages.
