Hi all,
@Lawrence: if the screen goes black at boot time it seems it could a
video issue, does your computer have a hybrid GPU setup? You can do "$
lspci | grep -i vga" from your running system. Also, you might try
booting the ISO in the so-called 'safe' mode to reach the GUI.
I'm running F21 and my system has weird Intel/ATI setup. To boot the
image I had to do so in safe mode, install the system that way (I miss
a text installer!) then add the proper flags to the kernel line in
/etc/default/grub in order to have both CPU working as expected and
enjoy my screen max resolution.
As a side note, it would be good if you switch to the test ML as
instructed to help keep things tidy.
HTH.
