I tried that, but it failed too: black screen when enterng initramfs So I retried an install of 8.04 on another box, verfied that ssh was installed (I normally use SuSE, there ssh is installed by default which is not true for ubuntu and cost me probably a couple of hairs) and the is box accessible from the net. Then I moved the hd to my f690000er problem box, booted up and let it roll. I found the ip in my dhcpleases file, pinged it and can confirm the box is alive. SSH into the box now works! Still, the screen is black although there is an X11 running somehow. Next I tried: # ps -ef | grep gdm root 4591 1 0 17:16 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm root 4593 4591 0 17:16 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm root 4607 4593 0 17:16 tty7 00:00:02 /usr/bin/X :0 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7 gdm 4799 4593 0 17:16 ? 00:00:06 /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter root 5067 4952 0 17:37 pts/0 00:00:00 grep gdm // proof: gdm is up and probably waiting for me to log in, but blind flight as screen is still black # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
