Hello everyone,
Finally, although I can now directly boot without adding anything to the linux / boot / vmlinuz line (just purge xerver-xorg-video-radeon), other issues can accumulate slowly : at each dist-upgrade a new package is ignored, such as samba, then cups, then resolvconf, then dbus etc ...
Certainly, this version of aptosid is not for me : too many problems that bode nothing well for more ...
I prefer to give up for now.
I will return to take a peek at the next iso available.
Hi,,

Hi guys,
Finally, after a few days rest and after careful consideration, I decided to make a final attempt installation. One never knows, sometimes it works ...
So last night I reinstalled everything.
Yet another surprise: I reboot and I am with a screen labeled "GRUB>" and nothing else.
Does anyone know if there is opportunity to get out of there in a "professional" way (I'm sure yes) or should I yet again make a complete reinstall?
Should I really love aptosid to continue ... |

I saw that behavior on a USB stick installation, when trying to boot on an old Dell Optiplex 270 computer. Retry a couple of times -- it might decide to boot. I don't think it is any issue with aptosid or grub-pc -- I think it is just a combination of old hardware, old BIOS, and new USB device. |

And try to install firmware-linux-nonfree and set up your keymaps next time before you install aptosid 
Additionally, have you changed grub's cmd line or have you changed the grub.cfg before booting |

Hi all and happy new year !
I'm back with the new release of aptosid.
Good news: no problems with installation, all my hardware is supported, even my graphics card ! Great work !
However, another concern: how can I do to make an "update" or a "dist-upgrade" with the graphical X server off ?
Indeed, Ctrl+Alt+F1 gives me a black screen (as well as adding 3 to the end linux / boot / vmlinuz line).
I guess it's still due to my graphics card.
An idea ? |

do you use radeon driver? or fglrx?
did you install firmware-linux-nonfree ?
if I remember right, your problem is caused by missing firmware kms disabled. (radeon.modeset=0)
To install it, you have to add non-free to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list, do apt-get update and then apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree.
you should have kms enabled (=radeon.modeset=1 or nothing in kernel params) and firmware-linux-nonfree installed. |

Well, I use radeon driver and firmware-linux-nonfree is installed.
As I no longer need to add anything to boot, so I assumed (wrongly ?) that kms was ok.
Still, no possible textmode. |

From a shell as root try init 3
If you get a blanc screen press once enter and you should get the login prompt. |
