Comment (by euan):
with the 8th Jan 2011 nightly, I can now see a boot menu and even the boot
splash screen. The pc then promptly reboots. After a long session of
random boot menu option testing the cause is simply that the boot screen
must be set to 800x600 or 640x480. The other modes available are
1024x768, which I presume is the default. If 1024x768 (any bpp) is set,
or the option is not set the pc reboots. After a sucessful boot at say
640x480 the boot is nice enough to remember for next time, and the fault
no longer occurs.
Some sort of memory allocation failure for the vesa framebuffer?
My laptop has hybrid graphics (intel / nvidia). I believe the system is
using the nvidia chipset at boot, needs some ACPI hot swap magic to change
modes apparently. I need to poke around further to identify what vga chip
set is being used.
