(Our installati= on media has already so much stuff on it, let's not increase it further) For GPUs that are (sometimes) troublesome we should find out a way to automatically blacklist the native modules so vesa gets picked. Florian successfully tried kernel argument "blacklist=3Dradeon" in the past= --but I think that caused either VESA or EFI VGA to be picked and made the instal= ler work. There are multiple possible drivers for AMD cards: * The (older) vesa (BIOS) driver * The (newer) EFI VGA driver * The (older) radeon driver * The (newer) amdgpudrm driver So we could blacklist "amdgpu" and "radeon". (Unfortunately, someone that has such GPUs has to test it) --Sig_/dba.HR8tSW+6lCfAfksF=ux Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEds7GsXJ0tGXALbPZ5xo1VCwwuqUFAlz1L60ACgkQ5xo1VCww uqUe8Af+OGS0EyCXTF1OzbZs5vz7+mTslnn9M+BVjlDjeXT2uxJBCjdDOndR9otk EarJ04EGgpVgZxBri1MZcODGv59V4P5ZK9MAG3wZVJgVAkc8zcA4YM8mZuNldQ1Z PcawvlEvAXRWqkcHihQh/GThhsxnfyjjsA+04bwwLwO9rfC2Cqi8fyN6I1m8ROlc /cW293U2d3Cm4nc3N0gUQCKm4r3CJ85ArPRK95tTyYNv2/nz2iJJdUPC/QXuhcAJ hEcx57dKpaQRbtkfT/qcMPuFKzV4UZcb4T78KvFQ50ZknnNeWHDZ7DDdP2J+740u 3Mbv+426eSBmAWDEL84ijxcKOS/HiA== =BcH8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/dba.HR8tSW+6lCfAfksF=ux--
