VirtualBox 3.2.0 and Slackware64 13.1
I've had some trouble before in getting Slackware to run under VBox 3.2.0 ( eg. slack64-13.0 seems to only run when video mode is 1024*768*32k - haven't tested VGA though ). With Slack64-13.1 I get nothing at all even in vga mode. After the "BIOS Data Check Successful", the video mode changes to whatever was selected and the screen just goes black.
Any ideas? |
Is the VBox running under 13.1 as well ? I only ask because I've just managed to finally get my copy of 13.1 to complete downloading and want to try under VBox too?
BTW - I also live in Cape Town - we must look each other up sometime :-) |
Hi Mark, yeah a get together is well in order. I'm running both VBox 3.1.x and 3.2 on top of Slack64 -current ( now 13.1 ) without issues except the one mentioned above. Bit on the odd side - let me know how you get on. Have left you a private message.

Ok I've redone an install choosing vga mode this time and it's ( slack64-13.1 ) booted fine. Strange how if I edit an existing non-working setup, change to vga and reinstall lilo, it does not work.
