Bug#685801: Wheezy can't boot on netbook
Another workaround, was to select expert install, and modify command line to include "vga=0". At least that worked on ASUS EEE 701 model. Default framebuffer resolution is too high for EEE 701. Installer does not detect, if monitor/LCD is capable to display that. Gasha On 08/25/2012 02:35 PM, Ben Armstrong wrote: On 25/08/12 07:29 AM, os.n...@gmx.de wrote: please have a look at bug 655505.

Had this particular issue been a problem with the live build service or live build toolchain, the live team might not know it because they generally do not follow the live-boot list. The only reason I even discovered that this involved a live image is because you put "netbook" in the subject which is a particular interest of mine. I do not want to discourage you from filing reports. It is much appreciated. I am just concerned about them being misdirected so they don't get attention, or else needlessly tie up time being reviewed by the wrong team. I hope you understand. Back on-topic again, in 655505 you talked about Knoppix cheatcodes. In response, you were told how to blacklist modules. Did you try that? It seems the most fruitful line of inquiry here would be to close out this bug and reassign that one to the kernel, continuing to try to narrow down what it is about the kernel that hates your hardware.

Bug#685801: Wheezy can't boot on netbook
Hello Ben, please have a look at bug 655505. I reported the same or similar bug at 11. January 2012 with the installer. Now I wanted to try out if the bug is solved. Because I use the netbook daily for work now, I don't install a new release at my own risk. That's why I first try a live version and if everything is fine I will install later. Because there is no official live built image of Wheezy I had to built it myself. For testing a beta release of Wheezy it would be good if you create an official live built image rather than to force the user to make an installation.

There may indeed be a bug here affecting an install, but if there is, you had better actually try an install before filing an installation-reports bug (i.e. use an official beta wheezy installer image, not a self-built live image). If you need assistance using the live-build.debian.net service, please contact debian-l...@lists.debian.org which is responsible for its operation.

Bug#685801: Wheezy can't boot on netbook
Package: installation-reports I built the following live iso-hybrid from http://live-build.debian.net: distribution: wheezy package-lists: kde architectures: i386 bootstrap-flavour: standard linux-flavours: 486 bootappend: locales=de_DE.UTF-8 keyboard-layout=de timezone=Europe/Berlin Then I copied the iso-hybrid file to an USB stick and booted my Asus EeePC 1015BX netbook. I saw the first screen (where you could enter the boot options), pressed the return key, Wheezy begins to start (I saw the some lines of the boot process) but than hang up with a black screen. When I switch to another console (Alt+F2 key) the screen is almost black with some casual white lines but no text or command prompt. Debian Stable (Squeeze) works fine on my netbook. If you need further information please let me know. Best wishes Oliver -- os.n...@gmx.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
