Red Hat 9 install= screen black !
Hi all,
Iīm pretty upset and need help because I have now installed RH 9 several times with always the same miserable results.
first I tried to upgrade from RH 8.0. The result was a normal boot but at the end just a black, slowly blinking screen. No text or graphics.
So what I had to do was to boot to the other harddisk on the pc, save all my files securely there (mount from hdb) and totally reinstall from the scratch RH 9 on hdb.
It worked ok for a day (didnīt reboot it once) and I had just managed to reconfigure my ximian evolution 1.2 and start receiving emails when I tried to log out and come back.
The screen went black & doesnīt react at all !
I donīt know if I should cry - what the hell is the problem ? and donīt tell me its x86free because I have no idea what to do with it. Can I just switch it off and restart, enter single user mode and type something on the command prompt that will start the x-system ?
My pc is Compaq presario 5000, video card compaq 815.
Thanks !
