Hi!
I am trying to install Suse 10.0 on a box with a MSI K8T Neo-V mainboard. When I use older graphics boards (like Riva TNT based or GeForce 2), it works fine. Recently, I tried a ATI Radeon 9600 which caused a black screen in the same second the kernel finishes loading. I thought the gfx board was faulty and exchanged it with a new XFX GeForce 6200 AGP. But the same thing happened.
Windows XP works fine on this box.
Suse 10 as mentioned leads to a black screen directly after the kernel has loaded. Also in failsafe. Even older Knoppix 2.6 kernels do the same thing. Only a old Knoppix 2.4 Kernel would boot, but only with "failsafe".
If anyone has any hints... please, please tell me. The guy for whom I configure this box finally wants to switch to linux and I don't want to let him down...
Thanks a lot.
