medo3891 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 A graphics card problem apparently. When the screen blanks press Alt+Ctrl+F1, then log in as root: localhost login: root Open: drakx11 reconfigure your card and choose the Xorg VESA driver (or if you have a Nvidia card choose the Xorg nv driver). Get back to the text console, next: service dm stop startx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball2 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I had a similar sounding problem when I was installing 2008.1. Try putting acpi=ht into the boot options if the first reply doesn't fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Bergen Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm not trying to be picky but unless you have a hyperthreading processor acpi=ht is the same as acpi=off. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
