I have been using Debian since approximately 2005. I have this equipment now: Processor: AMD Ryzen 3600 Video card: Asus GeForce GT 1030 Motherboard: Gigabyte B450M DS3H Bios: American Megatrends EFI 2.70 B450MDSH.61c aka "f61c" DMI: Gigabyte Technologies Ltd B450M DS3H/B450M DS3H-CF The bios screens for this bios have an entry on the "peripherals" page which has this: AMI Graphic Output Protocol Policy. Selecting that has these lines: GP 108 Board (86.08.36.00.21) Nvidia GPU UEFI driver Output select DFP1 (that's a "one") The lines are informational and none offer any choices. This machine will run the debian-10.8-amd64-netinst.iso through to completion. The resulting Buster installation *will boot* and run without any issue whatever. The machine will run the "firmware-testing-amd64-netinst.iso" through to completion. The resulting Bullseye installation will *not boot* (hanging shortly after starting). Using the extra boot options choice on grub menu (single user mode) the detailed verbose boot sequence indicates that the machine freezes on the statement: fb: switching to nouveaufb from EFI VGA Fortunately, the "firmware-testing" iso produces a functional grub menu so I am able to reach the bios screens to recover. I tried the minimal install and the desktop install using Gnome. Both had the same result. In addition to the "firmware-testing" iso I have tried several versions of the plain vanilla version of the testing netinst.iso, making attempts every few weeks since December 2020 (thinking that the issue would be fixed at some point). All attempts to install bullseye end up with the freeze issue, but all attempts could successfully run the installer through to completion. Does anyone familiar with bullseye construction know how to dodge this issue? If it is not possible, what is the reason? At present it looks like just about everyone running AMD Ryzen with supporting separate video card will be stuck at the Buster level.
