Can you still jump to tty1 (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and login from there? That way you you may also read the "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to get any clue. If that's not possible, you can try to boot with a LiveCD and watch the error from there. Anyway, what is your VGA card, display type (LCD or CRT) and input connection (VGA -analog- or DVI -digital-)? > Perhaps a clue to the problem is a message displayed > at the very beginning of the install: > > 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC. Hum... not sure if that message can be related to the "out-of-range" problem :-?
