Hey Kids,

I'm a super noob here with a problem. I'm trying to install KnoppMyth and it's halting right after the boot prompt. I see the KnoppMyth splash screen then I hit enter and I see "vmzlinuz........" and then "miniroute.gz........" but then the screen goes blank.

I've tried almost all of the boot options (from the F2 menu) and none of them get me past the blank screen.


KnoppMyth R4V5
Asus A7V400-MX
Chipset: VIA KM400A VIA VT8235 CE
WinTV PVR250
WD 200GB
Generic CD-Rom
Using on-board video

Any ideas?

Quentin.

are you using tv as the only output? if so maybe try tv like specified in the install instructions. The other one that often causes problems is scsi, so booting with the noscsi option sometimes helps.

I'm only using the on-board VGA for now, is that a problem? Is there a specific thing I should try at the boot prompt?

Quentin.

Try booting with the

knoppmyth vga=normal

option.
