using the 64 bit version
Hm.. the installation went well ..nice and smoothly..
however , upon first boot , i got the nice KMS grub screen...after selecting the kernel ... instead of the gdm screen , i got a screen filled with blue and black lines...
any one have any idea?
yours..sadly :(
fplolz,
Have you tried the fallback (2nd) option in the boot menu?
Chris.
What graphic cards are you using and have it installed?
i am using nvidia 8400 gs
hm.. yea tried both options.. still received a blue screen...it seemed like a console..but i couldnt even see what i was typing
@fplolz,
try the fallback (2nd) option, then generate an xorg.conf via X -configure, then move the xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
or
disable KMS completely, by editing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, then change the line that says FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/kms-nvidia.conf" to FILES="", and remove the 'nvidia_agp nouveau' in the MODULES array, then generate a new kernel via 'mkinitcpio -p kernel26'
The problem is ...both the fall back option and the normal option leads to the blue screen
and in the blue screen , i cant see what i am typing at all...all the words get blocked by those blue big lines...:(
and when i issue commands via the screen like shutdown...it doesnt even respond ...had to use the alt sysrq
finally-.- from grub , i disabled kms ?
nouveau.modset=0 ? not sure ..( think i supposedly disables kms)
but it finally..works.. i got to gdm..graphically..:D ..lol
edit..: fixed the issue...am able to boot in nicely and successfully now
I like to thank you guys soo much for helping me out :D
ah..so love the smell of fresh configs...lol
