Blinking cursor at boot

[permagnus]

Hi,

After doing an install from the mini iso (booted from an usb drive) I'm only getting a blinking cursor at boot. The system however seems to be up and running because I can ssh to it and access the system.

Here is the results.txt file from the bootinfo script: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/63179/results.txt

Any ideas?

add nomodeset as kernel parameter in the grub boot menu.

Changing the grub config line from:


linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-13-generic root=UUID=52fedee6-1320-439b-b3cc-ab5606df7b3d ro splash quiet vt.handoff=8


to


linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.0-13-generic root=UUID=52fedee6-1320-439b-b3cc-ab5606df7b3d ro nomodeset


Seems to have done the trick
