I re-reboot and start in recovery mode. After some experiences, I conclude that the correct graphic card driver was missing. lspci 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] [1002:954f] ... Then I enter: apt-cache show firmware-linux-nonfree | grep -i radeon | grep -i RV710 * Radeon RV710 ME microcode (radeon/RV710_me.bin) * Radeon RV710 PFP microcode (radeon/RV710_pfp.bin) apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd apt-get install install firmware-linux After that, the system starts correctly in graphic mode. Please, could you add a question telling that the correct graphic driver requires a (non-free) firmware and propose to download and install it ? Otherwise, the system hang, there is no warning and it is difficult to undertand what happends... Thank you for all !
