Package: debian-installer Version: daily image 2010-03-06 Severity: normal Hi,
a hp ProLiant DL385 G6 does not boot the daily installer image in 64bit mode. The box is a Dual Six-Core Opteron with 80 Gig of RAM. Trying a 64 bit expert install, vga=normal is needed to get output at all. The following results have been obtained with vga=normal console=ttyS0 and all permutations of "edd=off" and "nosmp" on the command line. All results have been the same. Vmlinuz and initrd are loaded just fine, the line of dots after initrd load ends with "ready." This can be seen both on the system console and on the serial console. Afterwards, the serial console screen is blanked (and stays blank); the system console moves its cursor up left without clearing the screen. I then see "Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... Done" with the dotline written by the initrd load being back after the "Done." Then the next line is overwritten with "Booting the kernel.y." with the "y." being the remainder of the "ready." With this display, the system stops dead in its tracks with a blinking red error LED: Installing 32bit Debian works just fine.
