Bugzilla – Bug 115885
Won't boot after first reboot on initial install - blank screen
Last modified: 2005-09-08 16:15:12 UTC
Beta 4 installs from DVD just fine, but after packages are installed and the first reboot, then selecting "Liunx" from grub, the system just hangs, showing a blank screen. This is HP DL385, dual core 1.8 GHz Opteron with two processors. SCSI disks using hardware raid. Grub comes up fine, and shows the three options: Linux, Linux (Failsafe), and Floppy. (There's even the nice background showing the Provo campus.) Selecting "Linux" results in the blank screen, no keyboard interrupt, and the hung system. Since I have no keyboard control at this point, I can't even try to switch to any other console to see kernel/console messages. Selecting "Linux (Failsafe)" seems to work, though. So perhaps this is an ACPI problem.
Somehow got logged twice. Dup of 115891 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 115891 ***
