Hello dear Slackwareians,


I tried to install Slackware 14.2-64bit on a System with the
sapphire R9 380 OX video card. The installation process is successfull.
But the reboot fails. The system boots up, you see all system messages
of the boot process. The process stops in the text mode when the video mode
should be switched an the monitor is black.

If I boot the system with the installation DVD everything works fine and
I can use X and KDE with all features.

I think I have to add some append-options to lilo.conf. But I don't know
which. I would be very happy if anyone could give me an advice.

Best regards
Peter

I have a laptop with the same issue. I found the answer on the Ubuntu forums - add nomodeset to the kernel line in lilo.conf. If you have another PC you can connect to it via ssh and edit lilo config, otherwise you may have to reboot, mount filesystems, run pkgtool and reconfigure the bootloader or edit it by hand and run lilo.
