I tried posting this in the newbie forum but it received no response, so I'm trying it here. I got a new video card, the geforce 5500, and when I put it in, arch will not boot all the way, just gets to loading udev devices or whatever and restarts the computer. Why can't I use my video card?

How old is your computer? What GFX card did you use before? My bet is that your power supply and/or mainboard can't handle the Geforce.

well my computer's pretty new, it's less than a year old, and i was using the onboard before. if my computer can't handle it that sucks. new power supply then?

Well I got a new power supply and it's still having the same problem. To see if my system could handle it I installed windows xp and it worked fine there. Again, it restarts at loading uDev events. I really want to be able to use my video card. What's going on here?

I don't mean to bump an old(er) topic, but I'm having the same issues with an GeForce 6200. The only thing I have been able to figure out is that if MOD_AUTOLOAD is set to "no", it will boot. So -- I'm assuming that an autoloaded module is causing the problems, thus blacklisting that module would fix things. But, I'm not sure which one to try and blacklist. mrblondisback -- does setting MOD_AUTOLOAD = "no" help things at all? Or~ have you figured anything else out yet?
