I must say I have to agree with Colin.  In my case I am fairly sure if he
or someone removes the radeonfb my old PowerBook will not boot to a
workable live session.  I base that on trying the kernel command line "live
video=ofonly", which gives me a great graphic plymouth, but stalls
everytime before the live session starts.

I personally will continue to test using the command line "live
video=1024x786-32@60" which works for me, and I will add to my tests what
command line I used, but I will not *fail* the test if i can get a live
working session with decent graphics and complete the installation.

I understand that having to make kernel command is not the desired process
, but as i remember before Beta2 and a few days after,  we had to make
nomodeset or remove splash on the 12.10 amd64 iso to get a live session if
we had nVidia graphics.

Basically what I am saying is if I can get a live session working and make
an install IT GETS A PASS.
I will annotate the qa-tracker and let the wiki dudes know what worked for
me.

By the way Ron I read your email, and built a dd'ed USB and tested the
current daily live 20121007.

'live" or no command freezes in light blue screen with reboot required
"live video=ofonly" plymouth scrolling stops and freezes
"live video=1024x786-32@60" works here gets decent graphics and a live
session with (installablity)
