It'd probably work with vesa or something. Things to try: nouveau.noaccel=1 nouveau.agpmode=0 (also in combination) Did this system ever work? Any indication that the hardware isn't terminally busted?> I get this information after displaying Grub menu: > > Linux 3.11-2-486 wird geladen ... > Initiale Ramdisk wird geladen ... > > Loading, please wait ... > > > Then the system is freezing and I need to hard reset.If you boot without the quiet option it should make it much more apparent where things are going wrong. -ilia
