Arch Linux 2010.05 Installer Issue [FIXED]
I reinstalled my Dell Latitude D630 this afternoon using the new Arch Linux installer (2010.05) netinstall. I had an issue however where the live image would start to boot and then I’d get a blank screen. I quickly realized what the problem was, and found a fix. Note: it looks like it is a similar issue to the one found here. Basically, the fix that I found, was to append the following to the kernel line at the initial boot prompt: nomodeset This is done by hitting the [TAB] key at the boot prompt of the installer and appending that text to the end. I wanted to get this out in hopes that it’d help others with the same problem. Good luck, and happy Arch’ing.
