Loading Screen Wrong Color - Ubuntu 6.10
On my 32-bit machine, installing Ubuntu 6.10 was fine - the loading screen (what you see when you are booting Ubuntu, after the kernel is decompressed) looked fine.
But on the box spec'd in my sig, the loading screen only appears in dark greys - I can barely make out the word "Ubuntu" and the logo. Any idea why? Small matter, but I'd like it cleared up all the same. |
Not seen that problem before, it's an interesting one. You could try tweaking the kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst, for example changing the video mode. It may just be a problem with that particular graphics card, ATI's Linux support is notoriously bad.

Try adding the option 'vga=0x312' or 'vga=0x311' to the kernel parameters and see what happens.

Well, I'm pretty confused by this one. There are a bunch of other vga modes you could try (see "Table 3: Kernel VESA mode codes" on this page), but I wouldn't hold out much hope of them helping if the modes you just tried didn't do anything.
The only other things I can suggest are searching for a bug report on the subject at the Ubuntu bug tracking system (and submitting the bug if it's not already on there), and maybe compiling your own kernel. |
