I also think it sounds like a video issue. You can try choosing the recovery mode in grub and then removing the graphical stuff. I think the default would have installed "gdm3", so you can check if that package is installed, and remove it. (If it wants to remove a whole bunch of other stuff, just go with it. Shouldn't be a problem since you only want the command line.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
