Hi,

I've installed the AMD64 bit version of Linux MCE from DVD, which took just under an hour, however, when I re-booted as requested, although the Kubuntu start-up screen did its thing, the screen subsequently went black.
There was no log-in window and no way to recover.  The PC remains ON.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

I'm assuming that my graphics card is supported, since I could see the blue Kubuntu boot-up bar.  The only potential problem I could see was the following message (when using one of the recovery options to start, so I could see what was happening during boot-up): "mounting local filesystems: FAIL".

Now, it seems likely/possible that this is the cause, but my hardware is fine AFAIK (was running XP before on the HDD).

I tried re-running the install, but got the same result.

Any ideas what might be causing the problem and how to get around it?
Thanks in advance!

I'm running a Shuttle SN95G5V2, with Athlon64 3200+, 1GB DDR, a passive nVidia 5xxxx graphics card and a 200GB Seagate HDD.
