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 32 bit depth on the radeonfb framebuffer. Any other colour depth (8, 16) still causes a crash. Forcing a 32 bit depth on radeondrmfb still has the crash - so KMS is currently impossible as far as I can tell. I don't know how you would overcome it on nvidia.....
Walter/wxl has 64mb of video ram I believe on nvidia. Jonathon Marsden also has nvidia, but how much video ram? Can everybody confirm how much they have - I have only 32mb. Is that the difference?
Or is the video a red herring and it is say sound modules that are the problem?
I can't get logs - anybody else?
