install console-only system]

[Avraham Rosenberg]

Hi,

   I downloaded the debian-wheezy-DI-a1-i386-netinst.iso image and tried to
install debian wheezy, as a console-only (no X) system.
   I chosed locale C, manual partitioning and ext3 file system. At the
tasksel stage, I chosed the option "basic system only".
   Everything went smoothly, except for grub not identifying my old squeeze
system (I had been forewarned!). But on the boot of new system my graphic
card (lspci:VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV610 [Radeon HD 2400 XT])
refused to speak with the monitor (Flatron w2271TC) and I was stuck. The
only way out I could think, was to use the install disk of the squeeze
system in rescue mode and update grub.
   But, of course, I am not able to use the wheezy partition. Any
suggestion ?
   The machine is a Sun Ultra 20 station.
   
   Thanks, Avraham
