Bug#911560: A20-OLinuXino-Lime 2 Rev. K Ethernet problem - No connection possible in installer
Package: debian-installer Hello maintainer, i'm currently trying to install debian on a new Olimex A20 Lime 2 Rev. K. This board uses a new ethernet-PHY, which seems to be unsupported by current debian images. (I tried stable, as well as the installer daily build from 2018-10-21). The hardware-changelog says: A20-OLinuXino-Lime2_Rev_H ~ 2. Ethernet PHY changed to commercial variant - KSZ9031RNXCC-TR; I found bugreport #864562, where it is stated that one could change the state of GPIO-Pin 17. That however does not do anything on my board. Ethernet still does not work. I'll send syslog / dmesg-output when i get screen to finally save a log. Thank you and best regards, Dieter
Bug#788384: installation-reports: Dell G5 install - black screen
Package: installation-reports Followup-For: Bug #788384 Dear Maintainer, the alpha3 installer of debian buster, after a correct system load, leads to a black screen with a fixed underscore, stuck. If, while booting, I add in the grub entry the nomodeset option, the underscore blinks and I can access to tt4, the only working. Because of this, in combo with other bugs (sbin not in path -solved- and dpkg errors) I'm not able to use the system.
