Blank screen after boot
Initial Info:
I am using Mandriva Linux 2006 In the initial installation, I used only CD1 (haven't downloaded CD2 or 3 yet) --- Booting my computer, I get to the screen letting me choose between "linux", "linux-nonfb", and "failsafe". Choosing the first, the bar loads completely, and then the screen blanks, and nothing appears. Choosing either the second or the third, a text screen comes up, carrying out hardware checks, etc, but stops after: Code:
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac) At the failsafe boot, there is no prompt for me to type "init 3". --- Also, during the initial install, I was allowed to check graphics card settings. The default selected resolution was 1280x1024, and the program allowed me to test the monitor. I pressed the button, and all went well (movable cursor, black, grey, then colourful screens). I took that as a good message, and continued. Any suggestions? ![]() Thanks in advance!

Try a complete reinstall... maybe something didn't get copied correctly.
