Help!!! BLANK SCREEN

riverbedv · 01-28-2004, 06:15 PM

I am trying to install mandrake 9.2. It all went well tell I rebooted. The screen went blank after reboot. I think that I might have the settings off for the monitor. How do I fix this I see no command prompt.

umm, if you remember the root password (which you should), then for username, type in 'root' and the password for root.
