Hi,
Thank you for the information.
Meanwhile I tested other Stretch iso files. Stretch Alpha7 don't show
this problem.
So it's indeed a *regression between alpha7 and alpha8*.
I don't know if this information is of any use to you.
Thank you very much for your amazing work on the kernel.
Laurent.

Hi,
Further information:
jessie iso installer (
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-8.6.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
) works on the same machine.
I tested it myself and it is documented here :
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/MacBookAir/6-2
So it seems to be a regression in the graphics stack between jessie
installer and stretch installer.
This might be related to CONFIG_X86_SYSFB which also caused bug
#822575. Unfortunately I don't see a way to disable that at run-time,
but please re-test when the next kernel version (probably 4.8.10-1)
goes into the installer.
Ben.
