Hello

Can you help me with this?

Computer : notebook Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Li 1705 (year 2006)
Graphics : VIA Chrome9 HC IGP
System : Excalibur 32-bit English (KDE 3)

I have downloaded the "4in1" .iso file (md5 sum checked-up)
Burned on DVD (and verified for errors)
"Clean" installation on hard-disk from live mode (Acritox installer ... finished)
Restarted ... can't enter the system either as root or normal user ... here is what I see (text mode, no GUI):

*Starting NFS common utilities [OK]
*Setting up ALSA ... [OK]

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 KanotixBox tty1

KanotixBox login: root or user
Password: the password

Login incorrect


NOTE: I had installed the previous version Kanotix RC7 without this problem (and with GUI at login)

Login incorrect: Maybe capslock was on when you entered the password/s during installation? Or did you use non-common characters in your passwords? Or numbers and numlock isn't on?

no GUI: Did you try to use cheatcodes for booting? Like noapic and vga=vesa?

Did you boot with german or us settings? via is always problematic, maybe even more problematic with squeeze later. Best would be access to your system via ssh.

Thank you ... indeed, at startup menu I tried the boot option vga=vesa, but got the message that it's obsolete and instead should try set gfxpayload=text before linux command ...
I removed vga=791, inserted the line set gfxpayload=vesa and ... IT WORKED, KDE desktop loaded ... now I don't know how to make this setting permanent (it's lost after reboot)

I think it was "us", but I am not sure, I am not very familiar with linux ... I don't know what "acces via ssh" means ... I installed again, this time using only numpad digits in password ... logged in root account ... then I tried "startx" but get error ... I managed to get /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which is attached to this post ... thank you

Funny that it works. Cause I wanted to write xmodule=vesa, but it seems that removing the vga= line completely did the trick?

You can take a look at /etc/default/grub and its entry GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT.

But I guess it's better to let Kano do the job. Winken
