Thread: Macbook 5,3: blank screen when trying to run 11.04
i running lucid 10.04 without problems , upgrade 11.04. created startup disk on usb stick 11.04 64-bit iso.
when boot, refit gives me option of booting usb stick. , menu 3 options:
try ubuntu out installing
install ubuntu
check disk errors
when try "try ubuntu without installing" option, blank screen indefinitely (i tried waiting 20+ minutes).
after searching found suggestion use kernel option: "nouveau,noaccel=1".
when insert line options, outputs lot of initialization text, finds hardware etc, hangs without starting gdm.
if replace options "nomodeset", boots command prompt, can't start gdm either.
know do? thanks!
