2007-07-17 09:09:55 Colin Watson debian-installer: statusexplanation The allegedly "FATAL" errors are actually ignored, so this shouldn't be what's causing it to fail. It would be useful to know what the hard-to-read errors on the failing install actually are; is there any possibility of deciphering them? This can't be a debian-installer bug, since d-i isn't used on the live CD. I'm guessing usplash for lack of better information, but it could be a number of things. Debian Etch doesn't ship a live CD so isn't much of a basis for comparison here. It would still be useful for you to test Ubuntu 7.04 (just a quick test-boot of the live CD) if at all possible.
2007-07-17 12:04:21 Marco Rodrigues description Binary package hint: debian-installer Still on the G4 Cube with a 22" Cinema Display and Dapper Flight 7 Live. The screen is vertically split by a width vertical band and part of the display is missing. (The problem appears also with Suse 10.1.) Then the installer fails with difficult to read messages (they are truncated and shifted by a 1 line). When using video=aty128fb:vmode:22 instead of the recommended and previously working video=ofonly, the vertical band problem disapear, but now the error messages are easier to read: FATAL: Module fbcon not found. FATAL: Module vga16fb not found. PS I was unable to attach this to the previous report. Still on the G4 Cube with a 22" Cinema Display and Dapper Flight 7 Live.
