Version 3.1 won't boot on HP Mini 1000
Posted: 03 Jan 2015, 22:12
Hi,
I have used the Mate version of Porteus 3.0 on my HP Mini 1000 netbook and it works fine. I decided to give version 3.1 a go but none of the versions I tried (Mate, XFCE and LXQt) will work.
It gets past Phase I of the boot process but then the screen goes blank. (Its at the point in the process when the text of the bootup process normally changes to the native LCD resolution.) There is a bit more disk activity but the screen remains blank. I can then only power it off. I've tried the text only option but the same thing happens.
I boot from a USB key and tried it on my main PC and my wife's Acer netbook. Version 3.1 boots normally on them.
Any suggestions why 3.0 works but 3.1 wont? The netbook screen has a slightly odd resolution (1024x576).
Thanks!
