[SOLVED] Slackware crash at boot

Gugur · 08-16-2017, 06:24 AM

Hello, I have windows 7 and slackware 14.2.

Slackware (legacy) use GTP.

When I try to boot slackware, it freeze at 3.6 NET: ... 17

I go to /etc/default/grub and put nomodeset in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Reboot...

And now boot stop at HDA NVIDIA HDMI

I installed nvidia driver, and exist nouveau blacklist.

When I put nomodeset in GRUB <TAB> nomodeset, slackware works perfectly

Any solution?

Boot to a Live CD or the Slackware setup disk, mount appropriate a partition (probably /), and take a look at /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg. You may find some hints there.

You likely cannot see those files from the Windows side of the computer because Windows generally cannot read Linux file systems.

I changed BIOS values, and now it works perfectly, thanks you.
