Booting up don't have progressbar

Post by vibol » 2015/04/14 16:24:54

Hello,

I just install Centos 6 Desktop on my laptop with 4gb ram and 80gb hard drive. Everything is work find. But as i remember i test it in Vmware i see a progressbar is loading when my system bootup to Desktop screen. But this time i don't see any progressbar on my laptop or any text when i boot up my laptop (just only black screen).

Wish it could get fixed.

Remove "rhgb" and "quiet" boot codes so you can see what is going on. Also change the runlevel to 3.
Read the FAQ at elrepo to identify what video driver you need. Once you have installed the driver from elrepo
and can successfully run "init 5" you can change the runlevel in /etc/inittab to 5.

The progress bar stuff depends on using a video driver that uses the Kernel Mode Switch (KMS) stuff. Some drivers like the proprietary nvidia one don't support that. Most of the opensource ones that ship with CentOS should do though.

Once you are past the point where the progress bar should be displayed, do your graphics work normally?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke
