LILO does not load Mandrake 9.1
I built a computer for my brother and rather than burden him with Windows I installed Mandrake 9.1 on the machine. Everything works fine from the Command Line Interface, but we cannot get into X. When the machine is booting we get the pretty graphical LILO screen, but then about 75% of the way into the boot process the screen goes black. We can log in using the third option which is for diagnostics. We have complete access to the machine at that point using the CLI.
The Motherboard is a Biostar P4SXQ. The CPU is a 2.4 GHz Celeron. The video card is a PNY GeForce4 MX440se. I have included the dmesg from his machine below. I am a complete newbie to Linux and was hoping someone could see something in the below output that would help us get X running. About 3/4 of the way down I see this: SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later Other than that I don't see anything obvious. Thank you for your help.

It looks like a video driver problem. Go get the latest from Nvidia's website.

MichaelK:
Thank you for your response. Once I get the video driver from NVidea how do I load it from the CLI? |
Just look at their website.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_d..._1.0-5336.html ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Li...0-5336/README/ |
Thank you very much. I found the driver and the instructions. I guess you can tell I've had my hand held by the Windows GUI. :)
