/This may or may not be related. I posted this bug back in October
regarding the black screen on nvidia using the weekly build. ///https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=971871 / Points to
note: I mostly install "ssh" and "system tools" first, then reboot as a
smoke test. Then I rerun tasksel to install gnome. My test failed with a
black screen after the first reboot without gnome installed. I could SSH
into the box and everything else was working fine. I have installed
Buster successfully using multi-arch net-inst using 10.1 - 10.6. I
normally install gnome and other basic packages before I install the
non-free nvidia. What images/scenarios do you want me to test?

release with black screens for AMD users? Moreover, it's not just an AMD
issue. We got a confirmation just now on debian-boot, that also NVIDIA
users can get affected by this:

the issue there! ///------------------------------------------------------------------ / From/: "Rebecca N. Palmer" <rebecca_pal...@zoho.com <mailto:rebecca_palmer%40zoho.com>>

Note that https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2021/04/msg00247.html
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2021/04/msg00247.html> implies the
affected hardware is _not_ simply "all AMD/ATI or NVidia hardware". Do
we know of hardware that is reproducibly affected?

The problem is that:
the older version of GNOME, or Mate, can work with vesa driver,
while current GNOME cannot.
Do non-GNOME-based desktops work (either KDE, or one of the
lightweight/for-old-hardware ones e.g. icewm), or is the problem further
down the stack? Though even if these do work, the performance penalty of
using vesa may well be too large for this to be a good solution.
