Seen before black screen: nil, nothing Seen after bootloader: also nil -> until one of some resets offers success: begins with showing the grub-menue at screen It seems that the mistake black screen begins in the bootloader. Starting win the mistake sometimes fade away and starting Linux the mistake seems to persist. Could it be that my CPU N3060 or driver I915 insert a bug?

After the update the starting sequence has a never seen before behavior. That could be ok, if the sequence run is at every start the same. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hello Michael,

The most trials to start the Laptop fails into darc screen. Serching in Internet it semms that lots of user of this Dell inspiron have the same problem.

My internet search has revealed that even Microsoft Windows users were suffered from the same problem [1][2]. And the intermittent black screen during the boot process was not bootloader, as the kernel parameter was brought up in the discussion thread to workaround the problem [3]. [1] https://ccm.net/forum/affich-890100-dell-inspiron-15-3552-blank-screen [2] https://www.dell.com/community/Inspiron/black-screen-when-trying-to-load-new... [3] https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/dell-in... For that matter, I transferred this to kernel. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

But why starts Inspiron 15-3552 into win7 without grub2 well, as single OS Laptop? I wish grub supports a log. Peter -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Starting from DVD "Leap 15.1/Update" I needed 3 trials: The first two went into a black screen. It seems, that my problem is somewhere before the grub-sequence starts. What could it be?
