wheezy installation

August 26th, 2011 - 06:00 am ET by Borys Takunov | Report spam

Hello everyone!

I tried to get Debian testing working on my Asus F8Sa laptop with Core2Duo
and Ati Radeon Mobility HD2600. Unforutantly i failed whatever I tried.

Installing Squeeze works fine with both Gnome and KDE. The modification of
sources.list and apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade failed.

So I tried install from netinstaller and mini cd image. I chose testing or
sid and tried gnome and kde. Both with same result:
The installation works fine, but after rebooting the system cant access DE.
All I see is "snow" instead of the splashscreen. The same applies when I
install Debian without DE it's snow again and no terminal...
Oh, and I tried different 3.0 kernels and 32 / 64 bit versions. Also tried
to set a kernel option "nomodeset". Nothing helped.

While booting I get the same error:
Code:

[0.215148] pci_root PNP0A08 :00: adress space collision: host bridge window
[mem {some numbers here}] conflicts with adapter ROM [mem {some more numbers}]

If it's of any concern, Mint LMDE (based on debian testing) fails to install
too, but different *ubuntus work just fine.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Best regards,
Borys Takunov

Hum... I can understand that you get a blank screen when login into your
DE (this can be indeed something related to the VGA driver in use) but if
you can't even go to a terminal, that's more serious. So when you jump to
a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1) all you get is a white screen)? Nothing, nada? Can
you ssh to the machine? :-?

While booting I get the same error:
Code:

[0.215148] pci_root PNP0A08 :00: adress space collision: host bridge
window [mem {some numbers here}] conflicts with adapter ROM [mem {some
more numbers}]



(...)

Without more conext this message can be totally unrelated to the display
issue :-?

Greetings,

Camaleón
