hi there,
I was installing squeeze to my old server (IBM X serise 336) but i can't booting that. just black-screen with one prompt and stopped if i reboot my x336 server. it's vedio cheapset problem? #lspci | grep VGA -> Radeon 7000ve rv100 blah.. how can i boot without error? T^T |
Could you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf here.

try
Code:
apt-cache policy xserver-xorg If it isn't installed, then you could try as root Code:
apt-get install xserver-xorg Inability to install a package with a tightly packaged distro eg Debian is because a dependency cannot be satisfied. To overcome this, you may be able to make a small change to your /etc/sources.list. Please post it. But, in some cases, it is necessary to do a clean install (e.g. when you have upgraded some packages by tweaking your sources.list to access testing or unstable repositories). I have found Debian easy to clean install, provided you have your home directory in a separate partition. If it isn't happening, don't waste too much time trying to fix it. |
Did you install a graphical desktop as part of the installation process when tasksel ran? If not at the command prompt as root run:
# apt-get install xorg # apt-get install gnome That will pull down and install x windows and the gnome desktop environment. On the next boot you will boot to a graphical log-in screen. |

The machine in question is a rack mount server, so I'm wondering what the OP wants to do with it? The black screen and "prompt" could be the result of a boot failure e.g. at grub stage 2, a problem with kernel mode setting or a simple xorg problem. Unless he comes up with more info then there's no chance of finding a solution. |
