bug#44301: Black screen in Guix System installation

[Douglas Linford]

Tobias,

I have tried both of those options, new current image and appending radeon on the kernel load line, but to no avail.

It never reaches login on tty1, but I can switch to tty2 and update guix and run commands.

The graphics card I have is an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 7800

Can the nouveau driver be installed and then tweak the X config file to use and load the nouveau, (if that is the one I need),driver?

Douglas

This sounds similar to <http://issues.guix.gnu.org/44257>. Do you

have an ATI video card? They are known for problematic hardware.

Please try the two work-arounds suggested there: adding ‘radeon’

to the GRUB kernel command line, or burning the ‘latest’ ISO if

that doesn't help.

Kind regards,
