[opensuse] Help with 13.1 and black screens during install
Hey all, I am trying to install 13.1 on my HP Paviliion P7-1235 desktop with an NVIDIA 500 series video card. I have had 12.3 installed with no problems. The only difference is I started fresh cause I need to dual boot into windows. I get through the initial start screens. It formats the disks and then starts loading the images. Sometime after this it goes to a black screen with text that moves so fast I can't see it. A moment later it goes to a black screen. I know that something is being output cause you can see the screen change when you power it on/off. Then nothing. There does not appear to be any HD light. I did find a comment somewhere that it took 10 minutes before it would proceed. Well I waited in excess of 30 minutes each of the 3 time I tried it. I changed parameters to see if it was something to do with a package selection, but did not see any difference. Once the screen goes dark, there is no HD light . Soooo, where do I go from here? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

When you begin the installation, try using the keyboard to add the term "nomodeset" without the quotation marks at the bottom of the first installation screen as one of the installation parameters.

AFAIK, typing "e" give you the grub editor and after booting, if the same thing occurs, try control alt F1 to see if you can get the terminal jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

If using Grub2, not what you get by default if upgrading an installation that has only Grub, where most openSUSE installations have Gfxboot installed and all that is necessary is to append nomodeset to the proposed cmdline fragment already presented. Note an installation media boot menu is presented by neither Grub nor Grub2. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
