Hello everyone! I was just trying to start openSUSE 11.1beta5 with KDE4 for testing purposes from my live cd, but I found it impossible to do, because while loading (near end) my screen went blank and didn’t go further. I faced this problem in previous beta release too, but 11.0 runs perfectly with boot parameter nohz=off in Gnome, KDE 3.5 and even in KDE 4. The problem occured right after X configuraion has finished. Also, I faced another problem, while I was testing Kubuntu 8.10 - it was terribly slow on my machine (Sempron version of 6715s), took ages to boot (with nohz=off and noapic). Any ideas how to get a succesfull boot with openSUSE 11.1? :\
Ok, never mind, I managed to boot it with noapic, but that’s weird, cause first time I tried noapic, it led me to blank screen too.
Hello,
I’m sorry to bother you, but I’m trying to install just any Linux distribution to my HP Compaq 6715s (Sempron 3800+ & ATI X1250).
I’ve tried Fedora 10 & Ubuntu 8.10, but the live boots doesn’t work: they freeze and I end up having a blank screen.
I’m currently downloading openSUSE and I don’t know if I will get the same blank screen situation or if this time it will work.
I’m writing to you because I couldn’t find a clear explanation of how I could solve this problem.
Can you please give me some clues of how you installed Ubuntu or more recently openSUSE to your laptop?
Thanks a lot for your help - I really need it!
