Have you tried installing using 'linux text'? A text install will not work ether. The problem is not with the X-Server drivers as the server never get to the point in the install where it would be allowed to start. So the answer is "Yes" and text failed the same. Could you try 'nofb' as well? Sorry but I do not understand what nofb is? I apologize. Try booting with linux nofb text on the command line. The 'nofb' option disables the framebuffer mode which might be causing a problem with your video hardware. It won't affect your install, however, as framebuffer is just need for certain install languages. And the magic option was "nofb". This resolved the install problem. It also workes in Graphics mode as well as text mode with htis option. Thanks Your video adapter doesn't support the standard vga16 mode, then... there's not much we can do other than continue to provide the 'nofb' option as a workaround for broken hardware |
