precise 543 with ACER aspire 7715Z
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

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/precis ... README.htm

Nvidia?? Google tells me your Aspire 7715Z has the Intel GM45 graphics chipset?gilloraymondo wrote:It could be because of the Nvidia graphic driver.
A potential solution is here -
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... ost4481170
Translating that information into Puppy-compatible terms: at the boot prompt, type -
Code: Select all
puppy acpi_osi=Linux
Full install? Really?gilloraymondo wrote:I like precise 543 and I installed it on an USB (full install).
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.gilloraymondo wrote:I should like to understand why I have a problem with this new kernel
Did you also press the Fn + left-arrow to switch the backlight on?gilloraymondo wrote:I have still the same problem
... with the "osi" solution.
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

You made 2 errors:gilloraymondo wrote:acpi_osi=linux
I have :

i) this boot parameter needs to be prefixed with "puppy ". Thus -
Code: Select all
puppy acpi_osi=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.
