[SOLVED] After fresh install (Netinstall) can't login in text mode.

gsg · 2011-06-30 19:24:16

After fresh install (Netinstall image) can't login in text mode.
After boot everiting goes fine (I see text scroling) but at some point monitor changes resolution and shows distorted blue image. I have tryed option vga=773, vga=769 in GRUB menu but it only changes the resolution before the point at witch again something happens and screen changes to distorted image.

Just to make sure, you're not booting straight to X, right?
Does Alt-F2 etc. switching work?
Can you boot into single mode or use a liveCD to look at some logs?

I havn't installed X at all. Alt-F2 doesn't work. I can see the logs. For hhat to look in the logs?

please use code tags instead of quote tags.

Please use [ code ] tags instead of [ quote ] tags when pasting code https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Try adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel bootline. You may want to drop all the vga= for now.

Thanks karol 'nomodeset' solved the problem.
