Hey everyone,
just popping in to ask if anyone has been able to boot any of the last 3-5 nightly isos? Before that you had to drop out of gdm and X startx manually, install hal so liveinst would work etc but at least it booted. Now I only get unreadable signs after plymouth nad no reaction whatsoever to any input.
Yes (with the images on a usb drive). It sounds like hardware dependent video issues from your description. That time frame is about when 2.6.38 landed, so I wouldn't be too surprised that some hardware has problems. There have been some usb issues when usb devices are put to sleep and don't properly wake back up again.
