+ When using the ROM images that use coreboot's "text mode" 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:
+ vga=normal fb=false
+
+ Tested in Trisquel 6 (and 7). This forces debian-installer to start in text-mode, instead of trying to switch to a framebuffer. +
+ ++ 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. +
+ ++ This workaround was found on the page: https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s04.html. + It should also work for gNewSense, Debian and any other apt-get distro that provides debian-installer (text mode) net install method. +
