User Feedback :: Black screen without failsafe

Thanks for all the advice.
Can't find anything.
Is it possible that it attempts to use the unformatted drive?
modifications I made to .filetool.lst don't seem to be there but .filetool.lst probably reverts to its initial state in failsafe mode.

I have an FX5200 and a S3 Virge DX and the black screen happens on both cards.

Dit you mount the drives...

If not:

mount /mnt/hdb2
and
mount /mnt/hdb3

When everything is mounted:
find / -name "backup.tar.gz" -type f

HTH.,

Remco

It should be visible in windows shouldn't it? Because I can't find it.

boot: dsl norestore

has no effect.

its something to do with DSL X SETUP or something.

Well if it still happens with "norestore" then you can eliminate a backup file being the source of the problem. What else has changed since then?

Also, you can force the xsetup prompts by booting with:

dsl xsetup

nothing had changed and I think I've already tried that.

Could restarting your computer all the time while DSL is running be dangerous?
