[AuckLUG] Failed boot

[Nevyn]

Hi Ron,

You should probably trawl through the bug reports. I remember a few
months ago with Ubuntu, these were the symptoms experience on some
video cards. The solution was to take out splash from the boot line.

The other day I was looking at someone else's computer, took out the
splash option from the boot line and the video card wouldn't
initialize. Experimental drivers for the video card which were just
plain silly.

Regards,
Nevyn.
