Ok that's odd. When you boot up, does it go straight to a black screen? You need to sit there and watch it. Either it boots, gives you a wall of scrolling text and then a black screen.. OR, it boots, and immediately goes to a black screen after the kernel loads. If the former, then I know what's going on. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
