Hi Jonathan,

it appears the live images are only for
Stable.
Yeah, it seems so at the moment[1].
I would expect that the latest fixes would only be in Testing. Is
this right?
Nah, the network driver was updated in Stable[2].
(And you're right, I don't want to disrupt my working system,
and especially not to muck around with my partitions.)
I don't blame you. :)
Well, I found I'd accidentally left myself an unused partition :-)
So I went ahead and did a regular install using the current weekly build
netinst iso.
Unfortunately, the problem(s) is/are still there. I got EXACTLY the
behavior I reported above. Scrambled video, so I did a rescue mode boot
and installed the updated driver as I described in an earlier message.
This let the boot proceed past this point, but it hung with the flashing
text on the screen, just as I described earlier.
So sorry, it's not fixed. I might give the live image a go when I get
time, but in view of what's happened I'm not very hopeful.
But as I have a running system under VirtualBox, I'm happy as far as
that goes. I guess most users of new Macs would want to use OSX as well
as Debian, and VirtualBox or one of the other virtualizers would
definitely be the way to go.
Cheers, Mike.
