Comment 47 for bug 194769

I tried Beta 1 live cd but the result was essentially the same. I don't think there was any broken pipes message, but I wasn't watching the entire boot process. The rest, however, was the same: blank screen with four blinking dots. Got to full screen terminal with <alt><f6>, but it looked just the same as before: four identical columns of illegibly blurred text with what looked like a command line with blinking cursor at the bottom of each column. Terminals 2-5 were the same as 6. Terminal 1 had additional text but the same four blurred columns. Terminal 7 was the blank screen with four blinking dots. I tried entering "startx" (which appeared simultaneously as I typed in each of the four columns), but that just took me to a completely blank screen, and I had to restart the computer with <alt><sysrq><b>.
