I'm booting PL from a USB thumb drive created with unetbootin (I don't have a cd recorder right now). Everything seems normal until it tries to load X. I see some scrambled graphics and then it's a black screen. I tried CTRL + ALT + F1 and xorgwizard to load a vesa driver, but still no luck. I tried LCD 1024x768 16bit and 24 bit. I'm doing this on a HP Omnibook Xe3 (Celeron) and 256 MB of RAM. If I press CTRL + ALT + F4 I see the desktop for a brief moment... Any help appreciated. |

Hi, have you tried the xorgwizard 'vesa' '800x600x16 LCD' mode (eq. SVGA 800x600 mode) jet?

I used the usb thumb drive to boot a Sony Vaio. I created a save file from that laptop. When I used the same thumb drive to try and boot the HP laptop again, it just worked. 
I noticed it loaded the save file I made with the Vaio, but was curious as to what was going to happen... I guess it worked itself out somehow. Thanks. |

If you use the thumb drive on different computers it is a good idea to make a separate save file for each one. The save file will have specific settings info for a specific computer it was made on. On boot you will get option to choose which save file to use. _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Yes, I understand that, but at that point I was just testing and didn't care. I'm glad I tried it, or I would probably still be having the issue. |
