Support knowledgebase (g450_71)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.1
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux.
Therefore some of the informations given in this article may
be outdated or the article may contain stale links.
Symptom:
During the installation the screen turns black (and there is no response from
the keyboard), after the test of the graphical settings succeeded.
Cause:
The driver for your graphic card doesn't work together with an active kernel framebuffer
device.
Solution:
Please start the installation again and enter at the boot prompt:
linux vga=normal
Hence the framebuffer device is deactivated and the installation is
executed with 16 instead of 256 colours.
