I am trying to install x86_64 on a compaq r4000 laptop. booting the CD I have tried text mode only and graphicaly mode. I see the normal stuff flying by and I just get a black screen (in text for graphic install).
I have tried linux acpi=off apci=off nousb nopcmcia linux noprobe
all result in the same black screen. Once the screen goes black the CD is still being accessed but the screen is just black.
I have tried CTRL-ALT-F1 or F2 and still nothing. CTL-ALT-DEL does reboot the machine.
Anyone seen this? any ideas?
the machine is compaq r4000, turian 64 bit cpu. ATI video. windows on the same machine works fine.

Have you checked beyond the labels to see if the hardware is actually supported? Saying 'Windows works fine' really doesn't translate well.

Gents,
I did plug an external monitor on it (thanks did think of that) and it is working. I was STOPPED on the screen asking about checking the media. I clicked TAB to skip it and hit OK and then the LCD popped back on and I am using it to install...
All seems right in the world again.
Thanks,
Jerry
