A little sub window comes up showing the kernal loading and then black screen, nothing at all. I am getting a signal to the monitor because the green light stays on and the yellow blinking never occurs. I have waited up to 15 minutes, thinking that it's just working, but screen is still black. I also can't seem to press any keys that get me to something resembling a prompt.
I've had simular problems installing SuSE 7.1 with a rather rare VGA card. What worked for me was simply switch to another console (i.e. <Ctrl>+<F2>) to get a prompt. Seemed that X could not be installed, but the installation could be finished in text-mode and I took it from there to get Xfree working with my videocard.
Why is this happening and is there something I can do to fix the problem? Maybe something in the BIOS. I have tried every list I can find and help site, but can't find any answers.
Can't help you with the GeForce, sorry. Haven't you got any installation-support? Let us know how you worked it out. Remco -- | Linux Kernel 2.2.19 | SuSE 7.1 | KDE 2.2.1 | Pronto! 2.2.6 | OpenPGP public key E7DCED61 Registered Linux user #209275 Registered Linux machine #97202
