** Summary changed: - Inaccessible logical partitions after 8.10-beta install and strange probing of the video card on Asus 6530G + Inaccessible logical partitions after 8.10-beta install and strange probing of the video card on Acer 6530G
** Description changed: Short version: The 8.10-beta/amd64 live-cd (1) produces unpleasant and strange visual - effects when probing the video card of Asus Aspire 6530G (ATi Radeon + effects when probing the video card of Acer Aspire 6530G (ATi Radeon HD3650) and (2) makes logical partitions inaccessible in the next session. Long version: - I tried 8.10-beta/amd64 on Asus Aspire 6530G-804G32Mn This laptop has + I tried 8.10-beta/amd64 on Acer Aspire 6530G-804G32Mn This laptop has AMD TurionX2 Ultra DualCore ZM80, ATi M780G chipset PUMA Platform, 4GB RAM, ATi Radeon HD3650-512MB and 1366x768 display. The 8.04/amd64 (a) doesn't include support for its Attansic L1 ethernet card and (b) didn't correctly determine the screen resolution during installation process, resulting in a flickering image. The 8.10-beta/amd64 live-cd booted 3-4 times longer than 8.04 one. Just before the start of GNOME session, an eerie white light started to crawl from all corners of the screen towards center, with strange hieroglyphic artifacts appearing from behind the light. The scene wasn't very pleasant to see, however, after 2-3 repetitions of that process, the installer eventually chose the right resolution (1366x768) and the image looked stable and good. I created a ~150G sda5(ext3) and 8G sda6(swap) inside the extended partition (with sda1&2(ntfs) and sda3(ext3) before it). When installation finished, I was able to mount sda5 from the live-cd session and I collected /var/log. However, after reboot to the new live-cd session, the installer reported that sda4 is "unknown file system", so that the whole newly installed system was inaccessible. When I tried the safe graphics mode on the live-cd, the boot hanged at powernowd startup. I repeated the whole process twice, with the same result. I attached a tar containig /var/log of the installed system collected from the live- cd session while it was accessible, and several logs/outputs/configuration files created by the installer as well.
