Can't find the reason why openSUSE 11.3 (32 bits) doesn't boot up when I change my laptop's ram cards. I changed 2gb 667Mhz (1gb x2) for 4gb 800Mhz (2gb x2). BIOS recognize the 4gb, GRUB comes up and then the black screen stops the load. The weird thing is that the system seems to be working behind but the screen doesn't display anything.
When you say the black screen stops the load, do you mean that you see the grub menu and choose a system to boot and then it goes black?
If so, have you tried running memtest from the grub menu?
If not, can you explain at exactly what point it does go black?
Cheers, Dave
That's right. I choose normal or fail safe openSUSE option and just after those white lines (some selected system info) video goes black. There's no boot splash. I can't even get the verbose mode.
By the way how can I try the memtest? Grub only offers the normal and fail safe modes.
Have you checked your video memory settings if you are using shared mem as most laptops seem to then maybe it got messed up during the ram change ..
