Best to direct Qs about d-i to the boot-floppies list where all the d-i folk hang out. They will want to know about this.I'm trying to install Sarge over the net (booting netinstall via pxe). I can only connect to it via serial console.. When it boots up into serial console, it seems to try sending VGA data to the serial port.
Is there a way to get around this?
What one would that be? debian-boot? That list is intended for development purposes, and not general user support. Support questions should be kept on debian-user.
If you did your homework you'd understand that right now they want reports from everyone who uses it. They even provide a template report for folk to complete.
Seems to me right now that if d-i gives anyone problems of any kind, the d-i team needs to know: there will never be a better time for fixing it than right now.
In this particlar case, it's not difficult to detect that the console's a serial port, and trying to use it as a VGA display is plain wrong. Tell 'em so they can fix it.
