Hello. I'm newbie here and I need an advice please. After system is rebooting after installation I choose Arch in GRUB . Ater that I've seen system is loading, but instead of command prompt there's only blackscreen here with " no signal " (from monitor). I've tried to reinstall it many times, but everytime's the same problem. I didn't even change anything except internet and GRUB settings. Can anybody please explain what can be wrong ?

Are you passing a vga= option to the kernel? What video card do you have? Are you using KMS?

Thanks for the answer, tavianator
yes, i didn't change vga=
my card is radeon x1950gt (AGP)
No, i didn't even have X yet, as i said, i cannot even load system. (loading starts, i can see loading process with Arch and just after that black screen)

Is there a second video card in your computer? (ie, onboard) If so, the video signal may be going to that card. You may need to change a setting in your bios to always use the AGP video card.

Maybe your download of the image is coruupt. Have you checked it?

Nope, there is no another card and no onboard card too... (MSI 865PE Neo3-F motherboard)... And if it was, i don't think i'll see system loading than

miau, i've used FTP installation, so i don't think it's about image. But i'll check it.

When you reinstalled from FTP, did you choose the same mirror everytime?

Dunno, whas it corrupted ISO or KMS trouble, but after i've tried to install from core CD system starts normally (it has 2.6.30 kernel, so, it should be about KMS. I'll disable it). Sorry for bothering you with that silly questions and thanks alot for your help. It works!
