So I can’t answer your question. I’m going to be trying the same trick on an amd64 box I’ve been having the same kind of trouble with. I have X installed (but I’m not using it) on that one. I’ll let you know what I find out. Rick
Trying my amd64 box with Nvidia graphics
when booted into X mode gets the screen all scrambled and useless. I had to add$ lspci | grep VGA09:02.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
to the /etc/default/grub file. If I left off the "vga=0x31B" part it booted but with the screen set to 1024x768 resolution. With the "vga" setting, I was able to specify full 1280x1024 resolution.GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset vga=0x31B"
Everything seems to be working fine, but grub gives me an error message about "vga=" being depricated, but it disappears before I can read the whole thing.
Is there some way to make it pause at that point (before loading the kernel and initrd) so I can read the message? Does anyone know what it means?
Thanks! Rick
