I've tried with new USB formatting (Fat and Fat32) same result.
I've also tried disabling AHCI SATA in BIOS (one of the few options in bios...) but it doesn't change anything |

Re: Install gives sorta blank screen on netbook
Yes, same problem. I have been searching for a solution, but had no luck.
I have a dell 2209WA lcd and nvidia 7600gs graphics. I have tried the desktop version and the alternative. Hope someone can help. |

Re: Install gives sorta blank screen on netbook
PROBLEM confirmation:
bootable USB-drive with UNR 9.10 made with usb-creator (Ubuntu 9.04). Same problem with this bootable USB-drive as described on Dell 5150 laptop: "can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow" Tried almost every combination of starting options. CLUES (maybe) for solution: 1) Starting with bootable USB-drive with UNR 9.04 does not give any problem on the same laptop. 2) Starting UNR 9.10 from CD-rom made from the same iso-file succeeds. Conclusion: created USB-drive UNR 9.10 has something to do with the problem Do you have any idea??? Last edited by Goofy_2; 2 Weeks Ago at 10:37 AM.. Reason: new information about cause of problem |

Re: Install gives sorta blank screen on netbook
I had the same problem, solved by not using any reserved space for documents and settings on the USB disk (choose "discarded on shutdown, unless you save them elsewhwere").

Re: Install gives sorta blank screen on netbook
Thanks Revelate, after recreating the USB-drive with "discarded on shutdown, etc." UNR 9.10 could be started up normally.
