Hi, I like precise 543 and I installed it on an USB (full install). It works perfectly well on an asus Netbook, but I have a serious problem with an ACER aspire 7715Z computer : When I start, I can see the nice precise window, then I see several grub 's lines. The last one I see is "loading kernel modules" and then, I have a black screen. Any idea to solve the problem ? Friendly yours |

Maybe it´s a video related issue, so when you see the blank screen try hiting Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace to kill the video server. If you see the prompt, type xorgwizard and try with the VESA driver. Hope it helps. |

Hi Galbi Thank you for your help. I have tried that, but it does nothing : the screen is still black. I have tried too with a fresh live usb : it's exactly the same thing. I don't know how to do. Friendly yours |

Hi, If, with my Acer aspire computer 7715z, I use another screen liked with a cable, everething works perfectly well. On the ubuntu forum, I have seen that everybody has the same problem with this computer and this kernel. It could be because of the Nvidia graphic driver. But I don't know how to install another one and remove the Nvidia driver.... Can you help me ? Thank you |

Try the retro build of Precise 5.4.3 - See announcement at http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00070 It has an alternative nvidia driver detailed in the readme notes http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/precise-5.4.3-retro/precise-5.4.3-retro-README.htm |

Nvidia?? Google tells me your Aspire 7715Z has the Intel GM45 graphics chipset? A potential solution is here - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/kernels-%3D-2-6-38-fail-to-modeset-resulting-in-no-cli-and-no-gui-904803/#post4481170 Translating that information into Puppy-compatible terms: at the boot prompt, type -
Full install? Really? Conventional wisdom is that you should be doing a frugal installation on flash drives. |

Hi, Thank you for your help, but I have still the same problem Same problem with the retro version Same problem with the "osi" solution. The only thing which works is to link my computer with a cable to another screen !!!!!! But It cannot be said it's a solution....... Of course, I have no problem with olders kernels...., Lucid puppy for instance. I should like to understand why I have a problem with this new kernel..... Any other idea ? Thank you |

That's explained in the link I provided - I was kinda hoping you would read the whole thing, not just my instruction about adding the "puppy acpi_osi=Linux" boot parameter.
Did you also press the Fn + left-arrow to switch the backlight on? Again, that's explained in the link. |

Hi tempestuous, Thank you for your help. acpi_osi=linux I have : could not find kernel image : acpi_osi=linux Explanation ? May be it's because english is not my mother tongue..... but I not found really an explanation, or, may be, we can say the beginning of an explanation....which explains nothing Finaly, I stay with my problem... Thank you Last edited by gilloraymondo on Fri 15 Feb 2013, 10:59; edited 1 time in total |

You made 2 errors: i) this boot parameter needs to be prefixed with "puppy ". Thus -
ii) Linux commands are case-sensitive, and you just quoted lowercase "l" for "linux" instead of uppercase "L" - "Linux". "puppy" specifies the kernel image, as labelled by the Puppy Linux authors. "acpi_osi=Linux" is an argument to be passed to the kernel during boot up. Of course, don't forget to press the Fn + left-arrow keys, once booted. |
