Followup-For: Bug #661069
Dear Maintainer,
I experienced the same situation after installing debian wheezy (testing,
latest version) on my AMD Zacate machine.
Installation works fine, when rebooting the system, the bootloader starts well,
shortly after starting the system the screen freezes with colourful snow. I
could not change to a terminal.
I have found the following solution for this problem:
- Start Rescue system from Installation disc (not from bootmenu)
- Open root shell in / (on the system harddrive)
- Add non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list
- Install the package firmware-linux-nonfree
- Reboot
This leads me to the conclusion, that the build in radeon driver (for the
graphics card) requires the non-free parts in order to work properly.
I think, the problem affects many AMD Zacate systems, as theese systems usually
come with an integrated ATI graphics chip.
