So your install works fine? Did you install in graphic or text mode? What is your RAM? Did you create a swap space? When you say "it goes black" do you see anything on the screen as it is booting? If so what? Does it hang and then go black? Could just be a monitor problem. What brand is it?

[duffman108]

Its yoper 2.1. I installed it on graphic mode and also text mode. I got 512mb pc3200 (400 mhz) or ram and my P is P4 HT 2.6ghz (fsb 800mhz) with an 80gb HD (7200 rpm with an 8mb ch) and a 5200 128mb video card. There is nothing on the screen at all, its all black well it goes from black to blackish grey, and there is no monitor problems cause my windows xp pro partion works fine. and my monitor is a view sonic graphics series G71F+ crt. Ohh and the swap is 7gb also.

I've never installed Yoper so I'm not familiar with their tools. I see you also use Knoppix. On this box? any trouble with it or do you get a satisfactory screen? If Knoppix configures your monitor to where you like it, try this:

Fire up Knoppix. Open up your favorite editor in Knoppix and go to /etc/X11/XF86Config. Have a look at:

Section "Monitor"

Write down the HorizSync and the VertRefresh.

Then edit your XF86Config in Yoper and change the rates to the ones you wrote down.

I've had black screens before and it has wound up being this type problem. Of course, if you have your monitor's vertical and horizontal rates in a manual somewhere, just type them in.

only problems i had with knoppix is that when i install it, it doesn't find my cd roms drive or my floppy. but when i run it off of its cds it does. but knoppix runs great on my monitor no problem with it. and i'm going to try that.

hey do u have aim?

well i'll say just one thing on this..... THAT SWAP IS WAY TO HUGE! the swap should be 512mb on your system with a max of 1 gig but that is too much......as to the monitor problem im to tired to think about that.

Im sorry this is off the topic but OMG
[quote] Ohh and the swap is 7gb also.[quote]
That is a BIG swap. Even if I take the server we have with the largest load its only 2 gig. WOW.

Sorry I was just ...yeah

[duffman108]

well what can i say i got space. But i am going to try to lower the swap down to 256mb this time insted of 7gb.

[duffman108]

ok srry for the double post but i just lowered the swap from 7gb down to 254mb and it still doesn't work.

I think i know whats the problem. See when i click on yoper to boot it goes the a screen that says loading yoper then after that it goes to the black screen.
Well when i click windows to boot it goes to the screen that says loading windows then the same black screen comes up for like 2 seconds then it goes to the windows boot screen.
Yoper not going to its boot screen at all, also my keyboard locks up at that black screen to.

Actually with 512 RAM you don't even need the swap. Just turn it off. Heh, I was gonna get to that after trying to solve the monitor problem...

I'm sorry, I don't have AIM. Also, try Googling to find the vertical and horizontal rates of your monitor.
