Instead, I had to use a special troubleshooting setup that applies the 'nomodeset' paramenter in order to be able to install at all. Once I got the system installed, I noticed that this troubleshooting setting had been incorporated into the grub kernel boot line. Because the boot process was rather wonky (flashing, artefacts, etc), I wanted to return to the standard setting, so I manually edited the menu to remove the 'nomodeset' parameter—and this is how I discovered this bug. Putting things the way you insist they are supposed to be (and the way they have been in the past, which is why I wanted to return to the old tried-and-true setting), revealed this bug.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
