 Hi Daniel,

 Daniel Pocock dan...@pocock.com.au (18/12/2012):
   
 Package: installation-reports
 Severity: serious
 
   
 During Debian's first and subsequent boot, the console becomes corrupted

 The X display is just blank too

 Access to the box is possible using ssh

 Adding

radeon.modeset=0

 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub

 makes the system work normally.
 
 that shouldn't happen anymore in the next release, thanks to the
 following linux kernel uploads: linux (3.2.35-1)

   * radeon: Disable KMS earlier if firmware is not installed (Closes: #607194)

 Mraw,
 KiBi.
   
Later on, I added firmware-linux-all (to get the wifi firmware) and on
the next boot, X was failing again, this time it was a blank screen and
this was in the log:

drm  wait for fifo failed status : 0xE57004E0 0x00110103

I was still able to access the box remotely using ssh

I removed all the firmware packages except the Intel wifi firmware, and
subsequently I could boot successfully

Package: installation-reports
Severity: serious

Image version: beta4 netinst CD amd64

System type: Toshiba Satellite P305-S8825

Installer is fine

During Debian's first and subsequent boot, the console becomes corrupted

The X display is just blank too

Access to the box is possible using ssh

Adding 

   radeon.modeset=0

to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub

makes the system work normally.

squeeze Live DVD worked fine on the same system.  wheezy is installed to hard 
disk
