there a though one: I've bough a new computer with the following configuration:

ASUS Rampage III Extreme
Core i7 950
ZOTAC AMP! GeForce GTX 560
KINGSTON KHX1600C9D3K3 3x4GB
HAF 922
OCZ FATAL1TY 750W
SEAGATE 500GB ST3500413AS

After installation of any Linux I can't lauch it! After grub screen, when it's supposed to launch system it gets stuck with black-screen(debian) or purple-sceen(ubuntu).

I installed various versions of Ubuntu, Debian with and without X, Fedora. Every time it's the same: total freeze after grub.

Can anyone help me, please? I don't want to stuck with windows (which is running perfectly as never)!

  • Hi! Do you install /boot dir to unencrypted, unLVM-ed place? It must be accessable at boot time! – antivirtel Oct 10 '11 at 07:46
  • /boot is on same partition as /.
    no encrption, no LVMs     – seler Oct 10 '11 at 07:48
  • :( 9.10 version? try it! – antivirtel Oct 10 '11 at 07:59
  • Do you get a login prompt if you press alt+ctrl+f1 when you have that purple screen? If so, then you might have to install a driver for your VGA. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Oct 10 '11 at 08:30

    @seler - when booting - press shift to display your grub and add boot options nomodeset xforcevesa acpi=off - that should get you a low res desktop. Experiment booting with combinations of those boot options - see my answer here for some more info: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38780/how-to-set-nomodeset-for-installation/38834#38834 – fossfreedom Oct 10 '11 at 09:42
  • This question appears to be abandoned and unanswered, could you perhaps add more detail to your question? If this question no longer applies then you can either delete it or answer it yourself if you've solved the problem. Thanks! – Jorge Castro May 14 '12 at 06:02
  • @JorgeCastro: It's abandoned as the idea is. I'm now running Debian as VM under Windows. – seler May 14 '12 at 06:28

Could I suggest checking your BIOS for bootloading settings. By default configurations are set for DOS, change to it Other/Linux/etc. I hope it works.
