I've used this tutorial ->
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=60019 - yesterday, and
after reboot the playmouth animation worked but before it arrived
login screen it showed me a black blank screen with a flashing cursor
- not mouse - and after more waiting it stayed there too.
Good! Now you know exactly what edits to what config files that you need
to undo.
I reboot after it and start with a previous kernel version number -
the number ends with 486, not 686 - with Rescue Mode. It started and
after Ctrl+D - when it needs - it booted the gui succesfully and
everything worked well.
So it sounds to me like there is no problem with your system as a whole,
just the boot config for the 686 kernel.
I would like to start the computer with the newest available kernel
version number, what ends with 686, and what were the default when I
started the system before, but it doesn't work and give me the error
screen what I mentioned before.
Please give me help to repair this to boot the computer normally as
before it was happenned.
I would:
Start the system the way you can, via rescue mode.
Undo the edits you made before. It might be enough to replace
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset
video=uvesafb:mode_option=1400x1050-24,mtrr=3,scroll=ywrap"
by
CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
Run the same update-initramfs and update-grub commands as you did when
following the guide.
Hope it helps
Johan
