I got this with the 20121017 image, but first on the third of three tests. The first two Alternate Install (Encryption) and Alternate Install (Entire Disk) booted fine. It was only after resizing the partition that it failed to boot. So the bug does not occur in all cases. It comes with a

The title of this bug should be changed as it has nothing to do with the debian installer. It applies equally to a live ISO as well as an installed system that is updated to the latest kernel. Don't waste your time with single/recovery modes. The only way I have been able to boot is to force a

Yep 64 megs of RAM on the video card here. Can others confirm this applies to desktop, too? I can't get desktop going well on nVidia so I'm of no help there. Again I wonder if using SMP isn't what is making this work for me. Jonathan I need your help checking out non-server nVidia please. It

Hi guys, this may, or may well be not, be of any use. But off the top of my head.. If you have the install there but cannot access the logs maybe booting using the LiveCD from A3 that we did have working would give you access to them? http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/quantal/alpha-3/ Sorry I cannot

phill, that's what i was sort of suggesting. if you have the system installed, as long as you can access the drive in some way or another (heck, use another distro if you have to! [you don't but finnix works quick and easy for recovery purposes]) you should be able to get to the logs. also,

Hi Joseph, I don't have access to a PPC, but from reading the bug, the kernel in 20121012 was okay and the one in and after 20121012.2 was not. I'm sure the guys will provide exact kernels as soon as they can but that may be enough? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

Walter, you might want to confirm whether you're able to reproduce this bug on your hardware using the latest images, to save people going on a wild goose chase thinking this is a regression since 20121012 when it's possible it's not a regression but is instead hardware-specific. In particular,
