Hi again,
I was directed to the wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/iMacIntel
Apparently this section has been updated:
Update (2011/08/12) : aluminium iMac Intel 12,1 / Wheezy , see the
"video" section.
However this didn't work for me. Even applying the radeon.modeset=0
line in the boot parameters just leads to a blank screen with a flashing
cursor at the top. Booting into rescue mode gives me a root shell, and
I applied the suggested updates to /etc/apt/sources.list, but aptitude
update failed with messages saying the server locations couldn't be
resolved. I tried a ping to the actual IP address, but got the message
"Network unreachable".
So I'm still stuck. I think this could possibly be bug # 627705, lack
of kernel support for the Broadcom ethernet card. But I'm not sure. My
installer was a weekly build from a few weeks ago -- should I try a
later build? I don't want to take the time if I'm just going to end up
in the same place.
Cheers, Mike.
