Lockup after first reboot

[Navy2k]

Hi,

I installed LMCE 0704 last week with a ATI Card and all went fine ( DVD Version)

This Week i got me an nvidia Card (7600 GS AGP) an my system crashed after the first reboot at a point where the Kubuntu-startup-bar was nerly finished.
Suddenly the picture goes cracy and it looks like an old CRT at too high frequencies.

Anything i could test or is it the wrong card?

Thx Navy

try to get to a shell alt-f1 alt-f2 etc. and then check dmesg and your xorg log (get the latest one in /var/log/)

i rebootet a lot after the first one dont helped

xorg.log has one error stating tha glx could not load ant thats true because in the xorg.conf the driver is "vesa"

im not at my box now but i will check dmesg, thx

Ok, it was a compatibilityproblem. I had a strange error like "could not allocate Mem to PCI:0:0:1" directly after the kernel loads from the cd.
I removed my DVS-S Card ( Hauppauge Nova SE2 ) from the system ant it works just perfect. Maybe i ned a newer mainboard to support both at the same time

Ok, solved the Problem.

The Error was " PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource XXXXXXXXXXXX for XXXXXXXXXXX "

Solution: agp aperture size in BIOS to 256MB and all is perfectly fine
