I found that adding "console=tty00" made the initial text boot screen appear
each time I tried, but the GUI still failed to work. I then tried the server
version of Fedora 23 with "console=tty00". Sometimes I saw the text boot
screen for a few seconds, and sometimes I didn't. Either way I was left with
a black screen at the end of the boot process. I know the boot had
completed, as I could use SSH to connect - although not log in, since the
initial setup had not been completed.
When you say "black screen" do you mean on HDMI or serial console?
I tried editing the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to remove the root
password,
and I tried to allow password free login in the sshd_config, but I still
couldn't use SSH to log on.
Do you use arm-image-installer to do this?
