[SOLVED] Black screen

[agent_kith]

Hi. I'm a Linux newbie trying to install snakeoil-x86_64-0.1.5 on a Mitac PD10RI (Intel DN2800MT3) motherboard. The last output to the LCD screen is "starting web server lighttpd" and then just a black screen. Am I doing something wrong?

That don't sound right, you should at least get a login screen like this:



Here are somethings you can try: 

1. Try to ping this machine from another computer by running the following command. If you see a reply from this that means the machine is working and you can start installation. Follow the instructions outlined here: Link.
   
   Code:

   ping snakeoil.local
2. Can you go into your BIOS and change boot from UEFI to BIOS and see if that works? 
   
3. Try connecting your monitor to the onboard HDMI/VGA port instead of your dedicated GPU. Perhaps the ISO don't have support for your GPU.
   

Let me know how it goes. thanks.
