Blank screen..........
in [Debian]

From: charlie on 21 Feb 2010 21:40 Using Debian testing After this mornings upgrade, rebooted and the Acer Aspire 3614 laptop boots and I get the grub list of kernels and when I use select latest trunk a blank screen happens and the light flashes and nothing happens on the monitor. One of the upgrades this morning was udev - obviously changed something and now am unable to get anything on the monitor. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I do not use a login manager, boot into console and enter: username - password - then startx. By which you must mean "framebuffer based pretty boot screen"? A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that when I shut down, the machine stopped displaying the messages as it shut down. I thought this may have been a "new Debian policy" so didn't mention it. In Lenny, on the same machine, everything works as it should with messages displayed upon boot and shutdown, so it's not a hardware problem. Thanks for the link, will read it now.
