hello all, mr. installation problems here again, i tried the terca rescue (boot) disk but i get the same problem. the boot sequence seems fine until after the stream of text; that is, until right before the first dialogue window (concerning color/monochrome display). upon closer inspection the computer is working (there is text on the screen just not lit up - the screen is "off") but the screen is black. at a certain angle text can be seen...
i actually found a reference to this problem on the net (from the linux on a micron millennia transport homepage) which says: "The Linux boot code doesn't know about the Cirrus 7555 video chip. It identifies it as a Cirrux 54xx. The code saves the current video settings and mis-initializes the chip causing the screen to blank. When I hit CTL-ALT-DEL, the saved video settings are restored during shutdown which turns the screen back on." but i'm not sure if this refers to me because i don't think i have a cirrus 7555 video chip, although our computers are similar. again, any ideas would be a blessing. goodnight :( ari
