+ <h2>debian-installer (trisquel net install) graphical corruption in text-mode</h2>
+ <p>
+ When using the ROM images that use coreboot's &quot;text mode&quot; instead of the coreboot framebuffer,
+ booting the Trisquel net installer results in graphical corruption because it is trying to switch to a framebuffer which doesn't
+ exist. Use that kernel parameter on the 'linux' line when booting it:<br/>
+ <b>vga=normal fb=false</b>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Tested in Trisquel 6 (and 7). This forces debian-installer to start in text-mode, instead of trying to switch to a framebuffer.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If selecting text-mode from a GRUB menu created using the ISOLINUX parser, you can press E on the menu entry to add this.
+ Or, if you are booting manually (from GRUB terminal) then just add the parameters.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ This workaround was found on the page: <a href="https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s04.html">https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s04.html</a>.
+ It should also work for gNewSense, Debian and any other apt-get distro that provides debian-installer (text mode) net install method.
