From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: I am installing on a Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop. I attempted to install using the anaconda graphical however, the installer did not detect my monitor. I then proceeded to install using "text" mode. At the monitor portion I selected 800x600 and used the default freqs. After the installation was completed I re-booted. After seeing the Welcome screen "Grub" the screen went blank. This has happen now with attempting to isntall 3 times. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install 2. re-boot after install 3. blank screen Additional info:
If you hit 'e' at the grub screen and delete both the rhgb and quiet statements and then hit enter, does your boot fail?
I removed the rhgb and quiet. At the end of the boot sequence I still get a blank screen
But it boots normally and then on starting X goes blank? Can you add '3' to the end of the line as well to boot ot runlevel 3 instead of starting X?
Yes.. at X it goes blank. I did see something very briefy about a warning on xfs. I could not see the complete message. I'm a linux newbie so I'm not sure how to do a runlevel 3 instead of starting X. Sorry
