This bug was closed (I think) because the problem was fixed according to some information that I can no longer recover.
That is however not true. When starting Debian squeeze or Debian sid I still often get a black screen on my Compaq 6510b. When this happens, I type (blindly) user (root) password(***) and startx. That will give a working system with X11. I can then exit from X11 to enter terminal mode which then works fine. I have updated to the latest version regularly, but the problem is still there. I boot into squeeze like this: title sda8: Debian squeeze (2.6.32-5) root (hd0,7) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=/dev/sda8 ro quiet noresume initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 savedefault boot This is with the old style GRUB menu.lst because I have many partitions and want to set things myself. The automated new GRUB is beyond what I can understand with a reasonable effort. Regards Leif -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
