Hi
Today I upgraded to Mageia 2 via the command line. I am now not able to boot Mageia 2. The login screen is illegible and gray in color with various bright lines at top and bottom. I'm also unable to boot in text mode. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Rep:
I think it is a bit hard for anyone to answer your question.
Some information on your system would help. If you look in my sig you will see a discription of my hardware. That is really needed to deal with your issue particularly, I suspect, the video card.
Sounds to me like your OS is booting fine. You just can't read it.
