Off-line or on-line install Leap 16 does not progress

I was trying to install 16.0 off-line and on-line …
…after initial show of script …
=> then blank screen with blinking curser top-left screen …

…that’s it

I tried it with DVD and USB-stick

I never had problems with previous releases ???

… and as I noted from other posts, there is no upgrade option ???

Hardware : MSI motherboard, AMD processor, 16 gig ram all about 2 years old

what to do ?

Nvidia graphics?

@sfalken

I am using the “graphics” from the AMD processor. However I do have a graphics card installed => Nvidia

You need to add nomodeset to the kernel command line, as your monitor seems connected to the Nvida card. Without Nvidia driver the nomodeset parameter is required to overcome the initial black screen (not all cards are compatible with nouveau thus the black screen).

When you are at grub boot loader screen, simply hit “e”
Navigate with the arrow keys to the line which starts with “linux”
Hit “end” at your keyboard
Put a blank and nomodeset at the end of this line
Hit “F10”
