Using the Alpha 5 Live CD, I pressed F6 to edit the options and added
radeon.modeset=1 just before the 'quiet splash -- ' parameters. Once the
boot process started, the screen said something like "unknown boot
option, ignoring" in reference to the modeset option. Boot process
continued normally, until after the boot splash went away (prior to gdm
starting): my screen went into power saving mode and the computer did
nothing. Ctrl-Alt-Del had no effect and I had to hard reset the system.
I am using an ATI Radeon 9550 (RV350) 256MB graphics card (manufactured
by ATI) on a Biostar M7NCD motherboard with an nVidia nForce2 400 + MCP
chipset. If there is any further testing/debugging I can do from the
Live CD, please let me know.
