Re: FC 5 black screen before install

[스팸관리자]

I should have indicated more clearly that I have tried 'linux text'.
I also tried two other options 'noprobe' and 'skipddc' (I'm not in

wrong, but it was to inhibit monitor probing).  I have also tried
these options in combination.  They all result in nothing but a black
screen.
