Package: debian-installer Severity: normal For vesafb to work, the kernel bootloader needs to set up a VESA mode. This is typically done by passing something like vga=0x301 (which will set a 256 colour 640x480 display). If this succeeds, vesafb should load and work correctly. Otherwise, the system will fall back to vga16fb when the vesafb modprobe fails. Currently, vga16fb is loaded unconditionally. I have a machine here that works correctly with vesafb but fails with vga16fb.
