    Dear Maintainer,

    I'm trying to install Debian 11.5 (Bullseye) on a notebook Dell XPS 15 9520. The installation finished successfully but from the first boot of the notebook on the screen appears the message

    dell_smm_hwmon: unable to get SMM Dell signature

    and the notebook hangs. I can't get to the shell prompt.
    From a live distro, inside installed distro, I created the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with the content

    blacklist dell-smm-hwmon

    Now the notebook boots ... and hangs without showing the previous message, without showing any error or interesting message.

    The buildd.debian.org pseudo package is for bugs concerning the build
    daemons infrastructure, which is responsible for building packages from
    source for all architectures. It has nothing to do with the installer.

    I am therefore reassigning this to the installation-reports package, for
    you to get more chances to find people helping you.

    Regards
    Aurelien
