Christian Wolf (christianwolf) wrote : [Gutsy Alternate CD] Alternate install CD (both x86, AMD64) not booting on HP NX6325

The x86 as well as the AMD64 alternate installation CD is stops booting immediately after the kernel is being loaded (when switching the screen). So if I remove quiet from the kernel parameters, I see all the kernel messages, but immediately after that the screen goes black, and system can only be restarted (Ctrl-Alt-Del works).

I tried several kernel paramters but that did not help.

The problem exists for the Beta CD set as well the following daily builds. I had no problem with the daily builds before Septembre 24, 2007. Installed systems seem also still to work, also the LiveCD does boot (well at least until Gnome gets started, but this is another bug).

I guess it might be related to a problem with the initrd and/or the framebuffer. Media are ok as I testet them on a different system without this problem.

Funny thing is: When I ask for the CD being tested, that seems to work, there is some HD/CD-activity. However, the screen also remains black.
