I just ran through a build and hit one problem, which I suspect is down to my video card, an nvidia GeForce of some type. Boot from CD with no parameters works fine up to the point where it starts X; I can just see the two xauth lines flash up, then the screen goes black.
Booting using failsafe works, and I seem to be able to choose any setting combinations I like; using vga=normal or vga=795 (for example) brings up the X config dialog, and eventually a black screen. I'll have to work my way through the hardware cheat codes next. |
