** Description changed: - After last update on Friday May 07, my Lucid Lynx netbook (Samsung NC20 - with VIA Nano, VX800, latest openchrome trunk r853) stopped booting. - After booting it goes to a black screen. The recovery mode also goes to - blank screen. I tried editing the boot options - like removing quite - splash and tried adding nomodeset, or modeset=0 or xforcevesa or - vga=771. None of them worked. When I try init=/bin/bash I can get a - command prompt. That does not help much. I am at the moment not able to - connect to a LAN or WLAN. I can use a 3G phone. But I do not know how to - use it from commandline which makes it almost impossible to check for - updates. I am able to boot using latest ISO image in a USB stick. This - is critical as even recovery mode does not work. I believe that the - kernel version is 2.6.32-22 which came with updates last week. + I upgraded my Samsung NC20 to Lucid before the Lucid release. It was + working OK with Lucid beta and latest openchrome. After the Lucid + release, I did an update/upgrade the packages (sudu apt-get + update/upgrade. This updated my kernel to 2.6.32-22 among other things. + Now after the boot I get the blank screen. I get Grub. But no splash, X + or login screen. Just a blank black screen with a cursor on the left top + corner. I do not get a terminal window by pressing ctrl+alt+Fx. If I + remove the boot options splash/quiet from grub I get to see the text + messages scrolling up which finally shows something like + + Ext3-fs mounted + Begin /scripts/init-bottom + DONE + + Now the screen goes blank with a green flash once. There are many + references to blank screen problem in Lucid. Most of them suggest using + nomodeset, xforcevesa, acpi=off etc but none of these or their + combination worked for me. Not even to give a terminal window. Recovery + option is also not useful. The only thing that worked for me was + init=/bin/bash option in grub. This gave me rudimentary console. But it + will not allow me to change files as the file system is read only. Is + there any other boot switch that I may try to get safe display?
