Hello Debian users, I recently bought a gluglug X60s laptop and once received I installed Debian on it (wheezy i386).
The installation was done using the netinstall CD; I only installed base system plus laptop programs and apt-get install'd other stuff (xorg, alsa, etc.) later on. The problem is that more often than not, when I boot debian, after typing the password for the encrypted volume, the boot process hangs (black-but-not-off screen, unresponsive to key presses). I say more often than not because once in, say, 20 boots everything goes smoothly (so I can login in a terminal, start x, etc.). I documented my actions during boot taking pictures [1] (resized them via command line, I hope they are readable enough). After browsing for solutions, I found that putting 'nomodeset' as a kernel boot option allows me to reach login without any error. Unfortunately, after logging in, I cannot 'startx' (error: no screens found, I attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log). I am puzzled about this and am not sure what to do next to diagnose the problem. Any idea on how to address the matter is welcome! Thanks -F [1] http://ariis.it/share/dump/debian-boot-bug/
