Hi,
there’s a problem about finishing the installation of SuSE 11.1 Everything’s fine until the graphicscard test is to be done.
Last prompt:
… HAL deamon
*** starting YaST2 ***
The Screen flickers for a second an remains dark.
May I skip the Test?
Using Windows there wasnt any issus about the graficscard.
Thank for your help
wish you a mercyful new year
What graphics card (make)
Describe your system
How did you install the driver.
Some more Information
Hardware: Saphire Radeon X1900GT, K9N Neo-F Rev 1.0, AMD X2 4200+, 1 GB Ram
Systemstatus: Linux not yet installed (not finished)
Computer crashes on Graficstest during installation (one of the final steps of installation)
Installation continues after restart some steps before the graphicstest.
Hope these information will help you understand my issue
This assumes you have a grub boot loader installed from what you have done so far.
Reboot the PC
Pause the boot by moving the down arrow, then back up to the default boot. But now press backspace, it should delete any text where you can see VGA.
Remove all text and now type just the number:
3
and hit enter
at the login type your user name and then password
now type:
su
then the root password
now type this:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
(N.B. the 0 is a zero not a letter)
If you don’t have grub let us know
It works so far, but after prompting various stuff it resumes the installation -> leading to the graphicscardtest which can’t be skiped.
What’s wrong?
