My understanding is that black screen and no terminal means that there is a serious misconfiguration somewhere in X. (It could also mean that there has been a hardware failure, but (a) it worked during the installation and (b) it works during the initial part of the boot process.) Did you ever suceed in getting your system to boot to your desktop? If so, then the prime suspects would be any changes that were made to the system subsequent to that boot. If not, then the problem is with the Mandrake installation. In an earlier post, you said that you were using the nvidia drivers. Are you sure? Were these part of the PowerPack installation, or did you get them elsewhere? Did you ever get an nVidia splash screen? Some things to try: 1. Try some of the non-default options at boot. We might get some hints there. 2. CD1 can be used as a rescue disk. Take a look at the options there. One useful one that may work is to upgrade (or even install). Skip the stuff about formatting and package selection, but redo the hardware selection bit -- in particular, be very conservative about X and video-related settings. Use a low screen resolution -- say 800 x 600 x 16 bit. And tell it that you want to boot to a text screen. If that works, you can try moving to a graphical screen with the command startx. If that is successful, then the matters of booting directly to a video screen, and getting better resolution later. Oh, please reply using plain text only.

You SHOULD see a "console login" when you do that - mind you SHOULD is the key word here. I saw you mentioned something about NVidia, but you didn't list it in your machine's inventory in the previous message - do you, in fact, HAVE an NVidia card? If so, and IF you can get to a console login, you can login as root, then at the prompt type: cd /etc/X11 then type: vi XF86Config-4 ...and once the editor has loaded, locate the section for the video driver - if it lists nv instead of nvidia, you're going to have to change it; so while in the editor, you hit the INSERT key, then navigate to the line you want to change, change it (from nv to nvidia) then hit the ESC key, then hit : then wq => that will save it...then when back at the prompt, type "reboot" and watch.

Several people have already responded, offering suggestions as to how you might solve your problem. Have you tried any of those? What happened? Also, other than you are attempting to get 10.0 PowerPack up and running, you have provided no information on your system. Please tell us about your hardware, particularly: CPU Motherboard RAM Video card -- there are all kinds of nvidia cards out there, so be specific about chipset and memory. Is it onboard or a separate card? Monitor/display Any other OS installed? Hard drive(s) Laptop or desktop? FWIW, I'm a bit dubious about the nv driver being the source of your trouble.
