hi, I am trying to use the Suse Linux 9.1 live cd and the screen goes blank after the kernel expands any ideas what boot options i can pass to the kernel so that the screen does not go blank during installation.
Try to hand the kernel the option vga=normal, or you could actually try to specify it outright. On one of my machines that has an 18" Philips LCD monitor I get a blank screen upon booting in the default settings and had to put vga=0x318 into the boot loader setup to see anything before it switches X on.
Good luck, Alex.
