Slogger, I am also AGP graphics and have update the big report to reflect this. You tease out a good point that people need to list when they post their specs.
I just tried out your commands. No dice. This is what happens: 1) F6 at start screen to bring up boot parameters. 2) Remove "splash" and hit enter. 3) I see the following for a few minutes: "[17179576.380000] usb 1-1:device not accepting address 2, error -71" 4) scroll after a few minutes that quickly leads to login: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 5) However, whether I type ctrl+alt+F1 through F6, or "GDM" or "sudo nano..." the screen flips over to, I think, X (before I can even finish typing a command often) and I hit the same black screen again. Not sure how to proceed. ** Description changed: Problem: Failure in booting in to Live Desktop 6.10. Result: Screen Goes Black after boot phase, right as it enters the Desktop phase. Must power off to remedy. Steps to Reproduce: 1) boot x386 CD and DVD (I've tested both) 2) choose either default Start/Install or Safe Graphics Start/Install 3) 6.10 boots and goes along without issue with the new Ubuntu boot splash. 4) It finishes the boot process, then goes to the standard momentary black screen with the white cursor in the upper-left corner. 5) Then, the screen goes black. Using F4 VGA options doesn't solve the issue. note: a signature of this particular bug is that selecting ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 does NOT bring up console either before or after you get a black screen. As a result, commands to change drivers as a workaround will not work with this bug, increasing its severity. Test Specs: ATI Radeon 9200 SE video card (AGP) Compaq P1100 21' monitor and Acer 54e monitor ASUS K8V SE Deluxe mobo AMD Athlon XP 64 3000+ (I only load the 386 OS on to it, though) - 512mb RAM. + 512mb RAM. + + note: when noting your specs in your report, please note if your video + card is AGP or PCI-E, if you have an AMD 32 or 64 bit system (or Intel) + and which Edgy OS you are loading.
